This movie is so obscure this is honestly the only thing we could find on it.
He left a troubled world to find himself...but found adventure to last a lifetime!
The paperback he's seen reading on the first night the cubs are in the cabin is Agatha Christie's Passenger to Frankfurt. Unfortunately for him, it's widely regarded as her worst novel.
Valentin de Vargas appeared in Hellfighters (1968) and Hatari! (1962) with Patrick Wayne's father John Wayne, six years earlier and twelve years earlier, respectively.
As the opening disclaimer reads: The movie has been modified from it's original version. It has been edited for content. Probably some language, scenes of smoking and racism against American Natives has been cut. Also violence against animals would be possible edited out. There are no comparison sources available.
We were absolutely shocked that this movie was available on Disney+
