Honestly, it took me a while before getting into this flick. First of all, I was really bothered by this "White Men burden's" crap and the whole thing was just rather discriminating towards the natives (they are either portrayed as obediant servants or psychotic killers). Still, I was still swept off by the whole thing. It is a rather old fashioned action-adventure flick. Cary Grant is pretty awes... read more

Still, I was still swept off by the whole thing. It is a rather old fashioned action-adventure flick. Cary Grant is pretty awesome and you can see the uncanny resemblance with George Clooney. It was one they made action movies back then with some fist fighting, sword fighting, shooting and explosions.

Upon arrival at this ghost town, the trio witness the mysterious Thuggee "
