This amoral parable is one of only two films that the Spaniard
expatriate filmmaker Luis Buñuel ("The Discreet Charm of the
Bourgeoisie"/"Belle de jour"/"The Exterminating Angel") shot in
English (the other being the 1952 "The Adventures of Robinson
Crusoe"). The low-budget, crudely shot black and white film, is
a rarely seen provocative racially and Lolita-like themed drama
that is set on a remote island off the Carolina coast. It's
taken from a story by Peter Matthiessen and written by the
blacklisted writer Hugo Butler.  T
