(1961) The Sins OF Rachel Cade
DRAMA
Based on a novel written by Charles Mercer, starring Angie Dickenson as Rachel Cade who's just arrived to one of the most poorest villages in South Africa called Dibela. Because it takes place in the early 1940's which was the start of WWII, she is then introduced to Colonel Henry Derode (Peter Finch) who's job is bring law and order amongst the area. Her main objective is the same duties of a missionary, in which she's also there to preach her Christian beliefs and at the same time heal people. Roger Moore of the "James Bond" fame and for starring in "The Saint" television show also stars as the doctor who by chance crash landed near the area and has broken his leg. Some of the things I liked about his movie is the fact that it weighs some of the pros and cons about introducing a new religion into an impoverished area where they believe in spiritual medicine and chance. We get to see how their culture of healing people is different from American practiced medicine. What I didn't like about this film so much is the conflicting love triangle between Roger Moore Angie Dickenson and Peter Finch.
