This far exceeded my expectations - it really made my evening. Great acting (especially by Cornel Wilde), and a wonderful feelgood storyline with an uplifting ending; I really enjoyed the adventure and search for lost lifechanging treasure - thank you so much for this truly marvelous movie!
A brilliant movie overall.On one hand the Hero has to fight to survive against some nasty French aristocrats and there's the other part when he's traipsing the jungles of Guatemala looking for hidden treasure.The passion,romance,intrigue and adventure was overwhelming.Luckily the ending was happy.A good watch.Thanks for screening.❤
This was filmed in the year that the CIA backed a coup against the recently elected Jacobo Arbenz. He was left of center and his cabinet included a couple of members of Guatemala's Communist Party as coalition governments sometimes do. That government nationalized 10 per cent of the United Fruit Company's UNUSED land holdings for redistribution of land to peasants. The Dulles brothers arranged the overthrow and the land reform and made Guatemala a fascistic dictatorship. Just 8 years later J F Kennedy's Alliance for Progress .. designed to turn back the revolutionary left wing in Latin America .. Suggested to Guatemala that they try LAND REDISTRIBUTION for peasant farmers. Whiplash or what.?
I was in Guatemala in 1972, when the peasants were being slaughtered by the military. Anyone in the streets after curfew was shot on sight, including gringos. The long arm of the CIA still ran the government, but the war in Vietnam was raging and no one seemed to care about a small Latin country.
Yes, both extremes are dangerous and the human seems to be unable to recognize a tyran when he sees one, blinded by the fact that the guy is giving them the hate speech they expected to reassure them
I love old movies like this one….
Outstanding movie, thank you
I've seen this movie before, but it was worth watching again. Thank you.
Wonderful film. A welcome bit of escapism.

What a Wonderful and interesting story, it presented it's self at a good pace.
gotta love these old movies
always a good story
always so well done.
my god, what happened to hollywood?
I agree...
@Bigfoots777 That's hilarious.
Other countries have decent film industry. We just don't get to enjoy it much.
no one is capable of fun technicolor escapism like this anymore ! it will never happen again ever !
Always a pleasure to see Cornel Wilde! Thanks for uploading this.
Love him.
Yes, the pleasure is mine ! He was unique.
Thank you.
You just can't beat a film using the 3 strip technicolor process. Always eye candy to the viewer.
Well observed, so true ! Magic....
Resynchronised with the original sound, and remastered as I could.
Brilliant job, Lorenzo! 👍
Great film. I've been looking for it for ages.
Thank you!
@@BrianBellia glad you enjoyed, thank you
Good job, but please extend the beginning and end by a few seconds.
Nice movie
Cornell Wilde was young in this one. His movie "The Naked Prey" is one of my all-time faves, if you haven't seen it you're in for a treat.
Yes a beauty, and I like his other, as "No Blade Of Grass" or "The Big Combo" .
This had a bit of similarity to The Count Of Monte Cristo in it. That's okay with me...I like these kinds of movies.
Well observed indeed !
wow anna maria napolitana aka ann bancroft when she was young in a film with Cornel Wilde
This movie is a remake of the "son of fury" tyrone power" 1942 movie. That was b&w. But a gem.
This film was a remake of a film staring Tyrone powel and George sanders
Yes, they changed the names and moved it around a bit, but it's the same story as Son of Fury.
nice
"Son of Fury" rides again.

I detest fascists as much as I detest communists.

Trying to live rich off of other peoples sacrifices as if it was yours to take . Good movie tho growing up on it .
John Paul is going ride her hard and make her sweat like a rented mule!
says the sexist sociopath !
Louise fight who the hell is the action director that time.
What is the matter to Hero can't fight can't talk, no use to be Hero, what's the meaning of this film.
No Jesuits were harmed in this production.
Good film
Wait a minute! Isn't she his cousin?. WTF? THATS SICK!
