   Review by Darin R 🎬 🎥 ★★½ Proof you can take gorgeous CinemaScope tropical scenery, a stellar talented cast and still produce a puddle of shallow mawkishness and indecisive filmmaking. Ostensibly intended to break barriers when it came to depicting interracial romance, instead it shies away from actually showing so much as a kiss.
