Call it 20% H. Rider Haggard and 80% Hollywood.
A great movie and far better than any remake.
The recent telefilm made for Hallmark(? I think) that starred Patrick Swayze actually followed the novel fairly closely. It was pretty good but suffered from low production values. Swayze is good but most of the cast is rather blah and the whole thing is less than it could have been.
The version with Grainger & Kerr is a far better entertainment and very good film. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it an 8 1/2.
