Except for the stars,they say that Allan Dwan had a very small budget for his film ,but, much to his credit,he manages to hide it ,notably in the monarch's palace and in the plantation .
This is the umpteenth story of a runaway(Ryan) with a Javert-like cop(Farrar) and the royal police hot on his heels ;he takes refuge in Grandma's plantation (Stanwyck who does not look like a grandma at all) : this strong woman runs her plantation with authority but all the natives show respect and admiration for her. The tiger episode is mostly filler ,but the elephants make up for it .And if the three stars' adventures are predictable, the final explanation of the prince's death is totally unexpected. It may remind you of that of the English movie "so long at the fair" (1950)
An entertaining adventures film ;do not miss the ending.
