Elizabeth Taylor enlivens director William Dieterle’s tepid, clichéd potboiler adventure movie about a romantic triangle on a Ceylon tea plantation (…) The stars show themselves as thorough professionals and troupers, everything looks lovely in Loyal Griggs’s Technicolor cinematography, and there is an amusing finale in which a herd of elephants rampage through Paramount’s lavish sets. But nothing quite stops it from being a silly farrago. — Derek Winnert
