Short description
Uptight New York City executive, Michael Cromwell, pursues his soon-to-be ex-wife to South America and returns home with the son he never knew he had—a boy raised in a tribal village in Brazil. Armed with only his blowgun, the 13-year-old Mimi-Siku discovers that the world outside his jungle home is indeed a strange place.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is a remake of the French film "L'Indien à Paris" (The Indian in Paris).
- After a whole day of filming, the reels were accidentally left in a taxi in New York. These scenes had to be reshot.
- The film's setting was moved from Paris to New York, and Mimi-Siku was aged up to be older than a minor, as he was in the French original. (This is because it's an American remake of the 1994 French film 'An Indian in Paris', directed by Hervé Palud.) This was mainly due to the fact that audiences in the US generally disapprove of love stories involving characters of that age (in the sense of 'not mature enough'). Additionally, Mimi-Siku grew up in the wild, but the difference in skin color between the two main characters is much less noticeable than in the French film. The difference was downplayed to emphasize their spiritual closeness.
