Colonial tea planter John Wiley (Peter Finch), visiting England at the end of World War II, wins and weds lovely English rose Ruth (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) and takes her home to Elephant Walk, Ceylon, where the local elephants have a grudge against the plantation. Ruth's delight with the tropical wealth and luxury of her new home is tempered by isolation as the only white woman in the district; by her husband's occasional imperious arrogance; by a mutual physical attraction with plantation manager Dick Carver (Dana Andrews), and by the hovering, ominous menace of the hostile elephants.
Leave your thoughts about Elephant Walk.
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumI was 11 when I saw William Dieterle's 1954 adaptation of the Robert Standish novel Elephant Walk... and I loved it, though I don't know what I'd think today. |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostDelirious mixture of romance and melodrama, with gorgeous location shooting. |
| VarietyVariety StaffRobert Standish's novel about life among the pekoe-planters rates a sprawling script and direction that lacks attention-holding pace from William Dieterle. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzNothing more than a mundane soap opera melodrama. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherUnfortunately, the script that John Lee Mahin prepared from the Robert Standish book is lengthy and hackneyed in the build-up, and William Dieterle's direction does not provide anything more than gaudy panoramas of a tropical palace to fascinate the eye. |
| User ReviewMatthew CLOVE William Dieterle. The was the American version of Black Narcissus, for me. |
| User ReviewSebastián MWhat can I say? Elizabeth Taylor, romance, and an exotic location. This movie gets five (5) stars from me!! A must see. |
| User ReviewDylan BI've just realised I only ever saw this film on a small, black & white telly. If I get to see it in full, glorious technicolor on the silver screen - I'll no doubt give it that fifth star. Elephant People and bicycle polo - two of my favourite things to include in a film (the other three are: dwarfs, geese and revolving doors, in case you're wondering). |
| User ReviewGreg Wliz is never more beautiful than in this technicolor adventure |
| User ReviewKenny VTo quote Gnost, "Delirious mixture of romance and melodrama, with gorgeous location shooting." |
