Review of The Sins of Rachel Cade

In 1939, beautiful blonde missionary nurse Angie Dickinson (as Rachel Cade) arrives in the Belgian Congo to assist a doctor and convert the local natives to Christianity. Her breathtaking beauty attracts British-accented administrator Peter Finch (as Henry Derode), but Ms. Dickinson won't let the horse out of the barn. Later, when handsome American pilot Roger Moore (as Paul Wilton) drops in, they're off and running. This plot was very popular for actresses during the two decades before the time era depicted (here, 1939-1941). With her pink lipstick and tailored wardrobe, Dickinson is difficult to believe as a missionary nurse from 1939. However, she is beautiful and engaging. Her leading men do well with their roles. The best role, and most natural characterization, is realized by Errol John (as Kulu).
