Great Music, Bad Movie - So Bad, It's Good

If you are a Jim Reeves fan, this is a great movie to see, if only for the music. However, this is the first and only movie that Reeves made, and his acting is, well, about as good as the other South African "actors" is this movie. This movie is so bad that it is good. Very corny, predictable and worth watching. This movie will never rank in the IMDb worst movie list because it is not available for enough people to watch it and rank it. This was released after Reeves died in a plane crash in 1964, and it appears that it was rushed into those booming South African movie theaters in 1964. It was not even released in the US, but can be found on Video -- but not easily. Dare you to get through this entire movie!
