Royalty of sorts, I suppose.

I'll have to count how many times the word "Copra" is spoken in this film.

"Pleasant hokum for all the family, with a rather frightening looking Burst O'Lancaster doing his "drooling pirate circus acrobat" routine. Only the presence of O'Lancaster's frightful appearance, and a few shots of native girls in bikini, undermine what could have been fun for all. As it is, the near-nakedness of the ladies, and the leering O'Lancaster, make it a most distateful effort all round. Hardly surprising coming from the director of the sickening WAR OF THE WORLDS. Still, one should be thankful that at least it's more "tasteful" than the "modern" Johnny Depp version, which panders to a depraved public, with shots of bare breasts and severed heads - as if that is what audiences "need" nowadays. It's certainly what they deserve."

(Lester B. Albert-Hall Carpetmuncher Biscuit-Barrell - "The Demise of Entertainment, 1939 to 1974")

Leslie 'Ski-slope child-frightener chinstrap' Halliwell in early days ....



And Leslie 'decorously covering his frightening demeanour with heavy fungus' Halliwell in later years:




I think Burt wins on the beauty front, m'sel.

Look at the size of that ....

You could strap that chin to the front of a train and call it a cow-catcher:

There's one element of this film that somehow got past the censors and that's all the lingering, meaningful looks that the native island girl--the one with the "Polyfro", for lack of a better term--shares with Burt. There must be six or seven cutaways of this, which I assumed was to imply that O'Keefe and this girl had been involved with one another.

Jim, Lester B. Albert Hall-Carpetmuncher Biscuit Barrell noticed it back in 1931. It was quoted right here. Oh DO pay attention Phelps.

I thought all the factual, educational crap only showed up *after* the film's title was revealed.

Obliviously,

I remember Bob Fumanek telling us some sequences had been filmed into a curious "image enhancing" process , like in A PORTRAIT OF JENNIE.
