    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Director Mel Ferrer made a scouting trip to South America with nearly an hour of jungle footage filmed south of Orinoco and in the Parahauri Mountains, much of which was incorporated into the film. Twenty-five acres of back lot were converted to match the previously shot exteriors, incorporating 300 tons of turf, boulders, canoes, grass huts, blowguns, trees, and plants.
    • Goofs
      South American Indians having driven Rima up a tall tree set it on fire and flames are seen in the tree tops but only the tree and brush at its base burns, not the rest of the forest.
    • Quotes
      • Abel: [sings to Rima] They say that love is a fragile thing, a linnet's wing / a magic ring made of gold / They say that love is a bird in flight, a gleam of light / a star too bright to behold / Tell me, tell me, tell me, o child of the moon / Is it as they say? Must love slip away too soon? / Tell me, Rima, where are the meadows of June? / Speaking with her eyes, softly she replies: / I know a place where green mansions are, as near or far / As any star up above / And in this land of eternal spring, where hummingbirds can learn to sing / Green grow the mansions of love.
