Set in the prohibition era, a rum runner (Ventura) in the Caribbean falls in love with a beautiful silent film star, Linda Larue (Bardot).[1]
The film began shooting in Mexico and the British Honduras in September 1970[1]. The film was also partially shot in Parisian studios[1] and in Andalucia, Spain.[2]
The New York Times regarded the film as a professional breakthrough for Bardot, deeming it as a signifier of "the death of a star—the last star, perhaps—and the birth of an actress: Brigitte Bardot."[3]
The score and soundtrack were composed by François de Roubaix, with Bardot lending her vocals to certain songs.
