Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

hyped garbage

Charming and brutal

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This is another British western,this time set in south Africa.no one gets what he most wants.Carter really wants Blackman who wants George baker..Ford wants Carter but for some strange reason he doesn't want her..hi all business wants the diamond concession but doesn't get it.Carter is made president of the independent state,but no for long as the British come in and take it over as a colony.this film is one of a number from that period which could loosely be called a British western.it is a strange sort of film because hardly anyone speaks with what in any way shape or form remotely resembles a south African accent.also how can any film be believable where Carter sounds Diana Ford,albeit a brunette, in favour of a very prim and proper honour Blackman.so a rather unsatisfactory film
