Customer Reviews

This AUDREY HEPBURN fantasy-film should be liked by fans.
I have watched this film twice so far, and consider it to be really enjoyable. The critics didn't really seem to like it but real admirers of Audrey Hepburn will probably like this movie. The film manages to capture Audrey's beauty in an earthy,nature-girl sort of way. She has a baby deer that goes with her wherever she goes. I read in a biography book that in her real daily life the fawn was given to her to nurture and bond with. I think that after the film was made she kept the fawn as a household pet, as I saw a later of her with her husband at the time, Mel Ferrer sitting at home and holding this baby deer. If you are a real admirer of Audrey's beauty and not a movie "critic" you will probably like this film. The beginning is a little slow but eventually the whole thing gets interesting. There is a surprise ending and overall the film makes very good use of colors (it takes place in the Amazonian Rain Forest). Real fans of Audrey should check it out.

Just beautiful
This movie has been badly maligned but it has many redeeming points-Audrey is the only Rima that could ever be and Anthony Perkins was actually believable as a nineteenth century hero.The most enjoyable part of the film is the wonderful scenery and luscious photography.Some of the shots are quite amazing! The biggest problem is the change of ending from the book.I think it changes direction a little too fast.But if you like Hollywood endings-it's fine.The directing is average-what is interesting is the level of comfort which Audrey seemed to project during the film.That could have been the result of working with a husband whom she did truly love. I recommend this movie to people who are looking for a feast for the senses-I think you'll find it!

Beautiful Audrey
Green Mansions is a strange novel, by William Henry Hudson, and this film captures the strange illustrated edition of the novel very well. It is extremely camp, and Mel Ferrer as a director here is terrible, and Sesu Hayakawa as an Amazonian native is absurd, but Audrey Hepburn captures Rima The Bird Woman to perfection, and she looks stunning, and acts with great style and belief so that you don't care about the others...Anthony Perkins is likable, but stiff, and he clearly is waiting for Psycho...

Get this film if you love Audrey, and especially for her ability to counter bad scripts and direction and miscast fellow actors, and to take you away into her own Green Mansion for a lovely time.
