Did the writers of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom read Mrs. Mortimer's work for inspiration? (G loves that movie but always has to tell people that Indian people don't actually eat chilled monkey brains. :p)

“The Spanish were also pretty bad. The Portuguese were like the Spanish but worse, and clumsy to boot.
