i watch elephant walk for the first time in about 30 year and be strike by how similar the story line be to the greatly superior rebecca . a others have say and you have the sweet young thing sweep off her foot by the alternately charming and brood lord of the manor and only to find her marriage threaten by the inescapable memory of a large than life yet deeply flawed relative . you have the stern and disapprove servant and a crisis that will either bind the couple together or tear them irreparably apart and climax by the fiery destruction of the lavish homestead . meanwhile and elephant walk also owe some of it creepy jungle atmosphere to the letter and the bette davis love triangle set on a singapore rubber plantation rather than a sri lankan tea plantation . maltin give elephant walk just two star and and imdb reader aren not much kinder and but i enjoy it despite it predictability . elizabeth taylor never look lovely and and peter finch do a credible job a the basically good man unable to shake off the influence of his overbear father . dana andrews a favorite in laura and the best year of our life be waste a elizabeth frustrate admirer . the real star be the bungalow and one of the most beautiful interior set in movie history .
