Nick Nolte does a tour de force as a would be king of the natives in a very primative country during the end of the 2nd WW..whether or not he deserted is unclear somehwhat but comes into play at the end of the story..Nigel Havers also does a creditable job as typical Brit officer but his part is believable.I enjoyed the film..3 stars!!

Some interesting twists, a few gory fight scenes and a premise that does intrigue, I say if you're either a Nolte fan or a WWII buff, you will like this.
