Anne of the Indies
1951 Action / Adventure / History / Romance
Review
After the runaway success of The
Flame and the Arrow (1950), 20th Century Fox offered director
Jacques Tourneur the opportunity of making an another historical
adventure film with a budget that was one of the largest he ever had to
work with. Whilst that film, Anne
of the Indies, is certainly not amongst Tourneur’s best work, it
is a mildly entertaining swashbuckling romp, although let down by some
poor effects, a rather silly plot and the lack of charismatic lead
actors.
