» Leidenschaftlich vorgetragene Tragödie « Beschreibung Pearl Chavez lebt zwischen zwei Welten: der indigenen Welt ihrer Mutter und der des weißen Vaters. Nach dem Tod der Eltern in einer Eifersuchtstragödie wird sie zur angesehenen Familie von Senator McCanles gebracht. Pearls Ankunft entzweit die Familie: Laura McCanles ist dem Mädchen wohlgesonnen, weil sie vor langer Zeit mit Pearls Vater befreundet war; der Senator lehnt sie als "Indianerin" ab.

No need to recap the plot. One thing about this overblown fandango— once seeing it, you won't forget it. How could anyone when everything is done to such tasteless excess. Poor Pearl (Jones). Apparently, Jones was told her part was that of a hot-blooded wench, which she unfortunately took to mean parboiled. It's hard not to laugh at the first hour when she acts like a nympho on steroids, tossing hair and leering wildly like pampas grass in a windstorm.
