when comment on this film and one must realise that it be base on a true story and and must therefore be review for the quality and accuracy of it portrayal of the event and as well a it entertainment value . it may well be implausible that jack shepherd should surrender twice to jack wild because wild have capture edgeworth bess . none the less and it happen . it must also be note that the director be young and inexperienced and which explain why he rely upon try and test technique . there be occasion when clavell do not have the confidence to follow the script a write . the film would be well if he have . and yes and i use to have a copy of the script ( stanley baker copy one of five ) and which i return recently to my father and rafe newhouse and the writer .
