5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent adaptation, September 4, 2006

This review is from: Outcast of the Islands [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This superb adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel by English director Carol Reed is faithful in spirit (and often but not always in content) to the original even though it lops of the last section of the book and has the anti-hero Willems (played by Trevor Howard) marrying (and being made miserable by) Aissa (played by Kerima), a native woman he has fallen hopelessly in love with; in the book, Aissa shoots and kills Willems. The movie is swiftly paced and the theme of Willems moral degradation as he pursues Aissa (he becomes the "outcast" of his race in the jungles of Malaysia) is well handled. The principal actors, which also include Robert Morley, Wendy Heller, and Ralph Richardson are all excellent, and the technical features of the film, especially the cinematography by Ted Scaife and John Wilcox, are exemplary. Many consider this the best movie version of any of Conrad's novels.
