The Cage (1963)
An African physician returns home after studying medicine in Paris. He marries and settles down to life in the bucolic splendor of his native land. When he has a confrontation with a white plantation owner, the white man sees red and casts a spell on the African doctor. Although he realizes the curse is an ancient tribal superstition, he still is plagued by the ghost of his late first wife. The black doctor and the white man are assimilated into cultures in which neither of them were born in this vexing jungle tale.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
