It randomly reached to me on those late Saturday nights movie sessions at TV in far off 1994, sadly hereinafter never had another opportunity to see it again, luckily recently I'd found an original Spanish copy on internet with original audio, at last I've could reassess it upon my early rating 8 out 10 whereby was a slight higher than 6.5 at IMDB, well let's see which was accurate, due I always follow my feelings concerning rating a movie.
Actually it's an unusual offering takes place at wild Florida something near late 19th century or possibly on turning of 20th century where landing there an idealist ornithologist Dr. Walt Murdock (Christopher Plummer) to protect the birdies wildlife in jeopardy due an unceasing hunting for their fluffy plumages addressed for hat's adorns of flamboyant ladies, there he meets his most dangerous opponent Cottonmouth (Burl Ives) a kind of sovereign of poachers mostly compounded by escapees and former criminals.
Aside Murdock be sponsored by Florida's wildlife law he didn't get any support from local authorities, so they allow him no objection by yourself can arrest Cottonmouth at everglades and take him to Miami alone, even upset Murdock tries to do it even knowing in advance be impossible such dangerous assignment, what coming next will astound you quite sure.
Why I found it an under appreciated picture? For several reasons, mainly the character study due Murdock and Cottonmouth have psychological game with bold Boy bird as they labeled the good nature man on reaching there to arrest at own Cottonmouth's kingdom, second for the local poor natives Seminoles and their odd behavior concerning the lies, further those breathtaking gorgeous landscape as backdrop of this pulse-pounding storyline.
