| 1) An unknown, but competent cast of actors, bring a special appeal to thisrather run-of-the-mill allegedly true story of an Englishwoman who moves toSouth Africa in 1906. She quickly becomes disillusioned by the way in whichblacks are treated and cheated by the white rulers, and is well ahead of hertime by refusing to take her place as a nonentity in the hierarchy of the defacto white aristocracy farmer class. Her naive orientation toward fairnessupsets the status quo, and creates problems for her and for those she caresabout. Never a truly inspired film, it is engrossing nevertheless. | |
