Green Mansions

A wall of fear separates the Forbidden Forest from the rest of the Amazon jungle. Tribesmen say a mysterious Bird Girl wields strange magic there and death awaits outsiders who invade her realm. But fear and rumors cannot stop a desperate political exile named Abel, drawn there by the lure of gold and by an ominous mission: kill the Bird Girl. A tender tale of romantic adventure unfolds amid the primal splendor of Green Mansions, based on the novel by William Henry Hudson and filmed in part among the scenic forests, vales and waterways of Venezuela and Colombia. Audrey Hepburn plays Rima the Bird Girl and Anthony Perkins is Abel. Each is a stranger to the other's world. Love may soon invite them to share a far better one.
