Rating: - Green Mansions Forever!!
Don't Believe any of the negative reviews about this film. I love this movie!!. I saw it on T.V. years ago, rented it on V.H.S. at some point,and have been waiting for it to come out on D.V.D.forever.(Along with other obscure favorites like "the Mad Woman of Chaillot"-starring Katherine Hepburn,"a Thousand Clowns"-starring Jason Robards, and, "the Slender thread"-Starring Sidney poitier; which it seems may finally be released on disk). I think these would make great criterion releases due to their off-beat but original natures.

Rating: - Audrey's oddest film
Being an Audrey fan, I tried to watch this movie despite others' bad reviews about the film. Well, they were right. This is probably one of the strangest film that I've ever seen. Due to my impatience, I just fast-forwarded to the scenes where Audrey's in it. Her stunning beauty is not enough to save this movie though. And, was Anthony Perkins supposed to look that clean-shaven even if he's in the forest? Oh well. 2 stars for Audrey and the doe Ip.
Rating: - Cuckoo!
Many bright, talented artists (and Mel Ferrer) came a cropper with this inert misfire. Hudson's novel was probably unadaptable during the studio-bound 50's -- perhaps now, with the current emphasis on location and a suitably ethnic cast, a more satisfactory version could emerge, though in any period the mystic aspects of the narrative would be tricky to manage properly. But the MGM treatment, while a labor of love for the Ferrers, produced one of Hepburn's few flops, seemingly doomed from the start -- any film that prominently features Anthony Perkins, Audrey Hepburn, and a fawn is just too twee ...

Rating: - Hepburn in an Odd Though Watchable Curio as a Jungle Girl
This must surely be the strangest movie that Audrey Hepburn made, though it's not without its virtues. Directed by her-then husband, actor Mel Ferrer, the 1959 movie is a fanciful adventure story where Hepburn plays Rima, a nymph-like "bird girl" living in the remotest part of the Venezuelan jungle. She is being hunted by the local Indian tribesmen for being an evil spirit, but she is protected first by her grandfather Nuflo and then by Abel, a young political refugee whom she rescues after he is bitten by a deadly coral snake. The slowly-paced story initially focuses on Abel's hazardous journey into ... Read More
Rating: - Mel Ferrer directs this movie!
We are in presence of a film that at least, it dared to challenge the delicate issue; civilization against enrooted ancestral beliefs, whose fate has been previously decreed and the lead man, of renovated ideas.
The film had dated but still conserves the interpretative vigor of Anthony Perkins and the well known sweetness of Audrey Hepburn who looks like more an angel than a Bird Girl.
