Review - Green Mansions

Even Audrey Hepburn's beauty and grace aren't enough to save this clunker. Perkins is woefully miscast — he's one of those guys that you just want to punch on sight. There wasn't a moment in the story that I didn't find unbelievable and awkward. I'm not sure any director and any cast could have made this story interesting, but this director (Hepburn's husband) and this cast just made it bad.
