Featured review
Rough around the edges matt campbell (wilde) heads to africa to meet up with his brother, but finds out that the brother has already met a tragic end. At the hands of the locals. Maybe. And this is also during the mau mau rebellion, which was actually still going on while this film was being made. Check out the details on wikipedia dot org. Even more suspicious is that his brother had recently found a mine, and asked matt to help him process it. But there are two others in the partnership, and matt doesn't know who to trust. Co-stars donna reed as ann; reed had just won her oscar for "eternity", but this was still two years before her big television show. Whenever christopher lee is involved, we know there will be evil and tragedy somewhere in the film! Except for one little plothole near the end, it's mostly good. One has to wonder why ann didn't speak to the natives in their own tongue to explain what was going on. But otherwise, pretty good stuff. Directed by george marshall. He also did destry rides again and how the west was won.
