I was nine years old when I saw this movie. I have re-read your synopsis and it validates every item in my memory. I characterized George Arliss in this role as the 'poobah' of his kingdom. When the British warships' longboats pull away toward their ship, Geroge is on a promontory overlooking the scene. He had just unsuccessfully bargained for keeping the girl and giving the pilot and the Dr. back to the Brits.With a final sigh, I recall the movie's closing line as he states, "Well, she probably would have been a lot of trouble anyway."Even a nine year old could appreciate that line and the resignation in which he delivered it. That line has been a friend for my entire life and I am now 87. I learned from your summary that George died on Feb. 5 ,my birthday. I also learned to appreciate British character actors.
