Better than most people think

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This Roy Black-movie is more than just another "Schlager"-vehicle, it's a semi-dramatic lovestory set in a Thailand-like country in Asia. It's interesting because former "Tarzan" Lex Barker (who was very popular in Germany in the sixties) plays his last role as a pilot. Eddi Arent takes care of the comedy and he does that, as usually, very competent. Black performs some of his finest songs in this peril of German filmmaking.
