- Quotes
Ruth Wiley: Oh, what a beautiful view!
John Wiley: That's the elephant walk where the place got its name. Before the governor built here, the elephants used to come down that track for centuries to get to the water.
Ruth Wiley: They don't still try to come through do they?
John Wiley: Elephants always remember.

Featured review
A truly underrated Elizabeth Taylor film
The scintillating Elizabeth Taylor stars in this lesser-known classic as a young girl from London who falls in love with a tea plantation owner from British Ceylon (current day Sri Lanka). Upon arrival she instantly feels out of place and is forced to adapt to the new culture as well as be in constant awareness of the angry elephant herd. William Dieterle, who also directed The Life Of Emile Zola and Portrait Of Jennie , does a masterful job of bringing a somewhat dark, and almost eerie, undertone to this romance and the setting is one of the most beautiful I've seen with the black and white themed mansion and the gorgeous island scenery.
