Maya (1966)


Directed by John Berry
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Teen Jay North (a few years after his starring role in the TV series Dennis the Menace) travels to India to meet his long lost father. Instead, he finds a dilapidated house with wild animals roving the grounds. His father cruelly kills a newly adopted cheetah and the boy runs away. He befriends a local Indian boy whose father is dying. They set off on a quest to delivery a white elephant to a holy city, the dying man's last request. Along the way, they must fight off thieves and tigers, as well as learn to get along with each other, to fulfill the promise. Good location shooting helps this rather predictable and juvenile jungle adventure.
