 | | He meets with the woman, played by a young, fresh and very sincere Deborah Kerr, who convinces him to undertake the safari, which he considers mad, only because she was willing to pay enough to take care of his son's education in England. |
 | | The movie is dated a bit in the beginning because of the Edwardian-style outfits worn by Deborah Kerr, but once her safari with Quartermain, starts, the adventure could have been yesterday, although it is a little slow-moving, which is not inappropriate given the means of travel, which is mostly on foot. |
 | | Kerr, of course, would go on to a long and glamorous reign as England's prettiest star, who managed to convey considable sexuality beneath a pleasant air of primness, but would be overtaken by the ascendancy of Grace Kelly just a few years after this film. |
