| Description: | There's a coup in a fictional South American country. English planter Tom Jordan (David Niven) and his French wife Clarie (Leslie Caron) don't get along, and Claire decides to leave him. Tom discovers the injured, deposed president hiding in his car and decides to help him get to the border. At first he keeps this from Claire, but when the authorities arrive, he has to rescue her and take her along. The deal with angry citizens, quicksand, and pursuing soldiers. At one point, Tom prevents the president from killing a young boy who finds them. But then Tom himself kills a young soldier when they are temporarily captured. Finally the president is caught and taken back for trial. The authorities want Tom to blame the president for the soldiers death but he, suddenly discovering virtue, refuses. He has to quit his plantation and leave the country, but his marriage is restored. |
