White Shadows in the South Seas (1928)

An alcoholic doctor runs off to Tahiti, where he finds love with a native girl.

Dir: W. S. Van Dyke Cast: Monte Blue , Raquel Torres , Robert Anderson .

85 min, TV-PG

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: W. S. Van Dyke. Monte Blue, Raquel Torres, Robert Anderson. MGM's first sound film features stunning, Oscar-winning cinematography of the Marquesas Islands (now French Polynesia) welded to a story about the corrupting influence of Western civilization, with Blue as an alcoholic doctor who falls in love with native Torres and clashes with exploitative trader Anderson. Portions of the beautiful, documentary-style footage were shot under the supervision of Robert Flaherty, who fought with the studio over its emphasis on a melodramatic plot and left the production.

Even today, the Marquesas Islands beckon travelers yearning for an exotic and authentic Polynesian experience. Imagine the wonder of 1928 audiences when White Shadows in the South Seas... more

A feud between Coast Guardsmen heats up when one falls for the other's daughter.

88 min, TV-G

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Ben Stoloff. Victor McLaglen, Preston Foster, Ida Lupino, Donald Woods, Helen Flint, Gordon Jones. One of those brawling-can-be-fun formula films, with McLaglen and Foster as Coast Guard rivals and McLaglen's daughter (Lupino) a focal point of further conflict. Filmed and acted with zest, but script's stupidities all but sink it.

D: Michael Curtiz. Edward G. Robinson, John Garfield, Ida Lupino, Alexander Knox, Gene Lockhart, Barry Fitzgerald, Stanley Ridges. Bristling Jack London tale of brutal but intellectual sea captain Robinson battling wits with accidental passenger Knox, as brash seaman Garfield and fugitive Lupino try to escape.
