This is the story of a foreign journalist who returns to Laos to rescue the woman he loves and was forced to leave behind. He had been in prison and tortured by the Communist regime one year earlier, convicted of being a spy, but he is willing to risk his life to get reunited with his true love. The story is beautiful but I must say the movie is kind of slow. However, it's worth it. Michael Landon is the main character and he is an excellent actor.

I READ REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES ON THIS MOVIE AND QUALITY WAS NOT VERY GOOD. BEING THIS RELEASED IN 2007 HOPING IT WOULD BE BETTER QUALITY IT WAS NOT. THE PICTURE AND SOUND WAS BAD. I HAVE A VCR TAPE THAT I RECORDED OVER TWENTY YEARS AGO WHEN IT PLAYED ON TV. THE QUALITY WAS FAR BETTER THEN THE DVD! BASED ON A TRUE STORY I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE.MY FAVORITE MOVIES " NOTEBOOK", "SOMEWHERE IN TIME", "THE FOUR FEATHERS" (1977).

I am thankful that (weeks later and after a time-consuming telephone call) Amazon.com refunded my money. The digital video disc that arrived would not play in my laptop computer, in a notebook computer, or in two DVD players connected to televisions. The message on the screen said something about no disk being inserted. That is the first problem that i have had with anything that i have purchased through Amazon.com.

Picture and sound quality were terrible and the last quarter of the movie had really bad glitches. but considering it was only 2 dollars i probably should have known better.

Firstly Priscilla Presley was hardly in this movie,so i don't think deserved to be on the cover,secondly,the quality of it was terrible and thirdly,it was nothing like i expected,i would return it for a refund if i could but its been too long so will have to recycle it instead.
Amazon never disappoint me so i will take this one as a rare disappointment,the movie plot though was quite emotional,couldn't hear some of the dialogue so had to guess what was being said,music background was too loud to be able to hear the vocals at times,so as you can tell i was very disappointed over all!

I know a few of the principal characters depicted in this film, including Everingham. It's amusing to see how H'wood boils the story down to the elements it finds most marketable. The real story is actually much more byzantine and complex, and would have made a good thriller. This is more a love story.

The actress who plays Everingham's Lao wife is Laura Gemser, a Dutch citizen of Indonesian descent who was well-known at the time for her porn films, most notably a few in the Emmanuelle series (incl Black Emmnuelle, Emanuelle and the Cannibals). It's said that director Hall Bartlett insisted she use a pseudonym for this reason, "Moira Chen." Even on the set he allegedly forbade the cast and crew from calling her by her real name.

very heartwarming to know True Love has existed and can exist with the right person. This makes you laugh and cry and gasp and hold your heart in your hands and say ahhh.

A real story of a journalist living in Laos that clandestinely pass photographs showing evidences of violation of human rights in his country, to his contacts abroad.
He fall in love with a native woman that help him.
The love theme is beautiful and the country exotic.
Good acting and nice supporting cast.

This DVD edition is unacceptable. The image is worse than any videotape and the sound is extremely unpleasant. For this reason I rate it only one star.

Poor quality DVD image. But it is a nice and unusual role for Michael Landon. His fans will enjoy the movie. I did!

i bought this dvd from synegery and it is a poor quality of this movie. you cannot understand what they are sayong and tj color is terrible. i will not buy anything else from them
