Eleven people are stranded in headhunter territory. The plane can be fixed but will only be able to fly five people.
From my recollection of seeing this in the early days:
It's a low budget black and white production which never gets out of its small Hollywood fake jungle set. For a supposedly exciting theme, it was rather uninteresting. Ends up being mainly dialog drama among the passengers. There are dangerous headhunters nearby, we hear their drums, but they never show. A plane flies over and doesn't notice them.
Anita Ekberg is an attraction. She first shows up when her breasts walk into the airport -- I mean when she walks into the airport (that's how she was). In the jungle her blouse is ripped in a couple places. Slight uplifts in a dull movie.
One IMDB reviewer made the interesting comment that it does "the one thing so many movies of today fail at their core to pull off - TELL A GOOD STORY." See what you think yourself.
The title was one of the variations of the day on travelling to or from Hell or Eternity etc.
I thi-i-i-nk there was some message in the drama somewhere.
