Elephant Walk*   

(US 1953)
                           
A girl marries a tea plantation owner but is overwhelmed by the influence of his dead father who built the estate, directly over the path to the river where the elephants roam.
Luscious colonial melodrama, a sort of Rebecca set overseas with stampeding elephants instead of a burning Manderlay climax, and one dimensional characters given grand settings and attractive costumes.
