At an inn on the edge of the desert they meet Mrs Lyle and her eccentric son Eric. Seduced by a prostitute who wants to rob her, Potter returns to the hotel disheveled, only to discover that George is too attentive to his wife. Potter hitchhiked the mother and son to the first town on the journey, while Kit and George took the train, in which Kit was seduced by George and had sex. In order to get rid of George, Potter let George and the mother and son take a bus at the second stop, and he and Kit took the bus to another town. Eric stole Potter's passport, and the local garrison commander asked George to travel with the Potters, but Potter only took Kit to the depths of the desert. Porter contracted typhoid on the way and died despite Kit's careful care. Kit travels alone and joins an African camel caravan, the captain of the caravan takes Kit home as one of many wives and concubines.

Like Tonadore's Out of Africa. Westerners are particularly obsessed with a kind of "aesthetics": Dick and Pussy in the landscape. Generally speaking, it is still the pretentiousness of the rich. Bertolucci should suppress his libido a little so he can be generous and natural.

Is this a tourist scene film? It shows so many rich and wonderful exotic scenes, but the emotional thinking is so thin that it can be disconnected at any time. It always feels like an irony of those who claim that travel can cleanse the soul.

Port Moresby: You know, if Tunner didn't take such long siestas, I'd never be alone with you. I think he's in love with you.
Kit Moresby: Port, don't be silly.
Port Moresby: Sillier things have happened. The way he hangs around making inane conversation, the way he looks at you when he fingers his DDT can...
Kit Moresby: What else?
Port Moresby: Oh, the ferocity with which he counts your luggage.
Kit Moresby: Oh, he counts yours too.
Port Moresby: It's not the same.

Kit Moresby: Someday they're gonna kick the French out of this country.
Port Moresby: Well, with trousers like that, who can blame them?
