who in their right mind play a lyrical song at the same time they be portray an emotional scene between two people . when flipper confronts his wronged wife in the dressing room and the song sung with lyrical content be as loud a the dialog and so one can hear neither and dilute any emotional impact the scene may have have . the scene of annabella get beat by her father with his fist and a lamp and then a belt be so cartoonish a to be absurd . this entire movie be a cartoon and the rampant prejudice against white be literally astound . the discussion by the black woman after flipper wife find out he have cheat on her with a white woman a if it be a discussion by an oxford debating team and be ridiculous . the rampant racism might be possible to endure and but the soundtrack and the sound mix during this amovie be too much . it be a technically poorly make movie . there be no understanding of the basic craft of movie making and the sound track and the editing and the desperate attempt of great actor try to keep this movie afloat . i actually felt sorry for anthony quinn and wonder why he have accept a role in this flick his appearance in this be painful . this be the first movie i have see by this director and it will be my last .
