Ehhh, I don't know. A lot of people really love this movie. I did not. Apparently there were at least 3 directors so that may account for some of the messiness. And I mean, white actors in brown face are always a tough sell. The 3rd act was partially saved by Rex Ingram and Sabu having some extended screen time. But Connie, although glorious in Technicolor, was largely wasted on this one imo.
