psteier A prince falls in love with a low class girl, but cannot marry her. His scheming sister gets goona-goona (a narcotic plant mixture) and feeds it to the girl. The prince rapes the girl while she is drugged, but leaves behind his kris (ceremonial knife), leading to tragedy.The story itself is not much and can be hard to follow. This is one of the last films released with an unsynchronized sound track. It has titles, as well as a professorial narrator. The music is a mixture of Balinese and Western, played with both Balinese and Western instruments.The views of Bali of the time are quite interesting and there are a few minutes of Balinese dancing.The film was originally released in two color (red/green) Technicolor, but some of the prints are black and white.
