By the authors of “Mutiny on the Bounty.” From the novel by Charles Nordhoff & James Norman Hall. Directed by John Ford. Screenplay by Dudley Nichols. Released thru United Artists.

ADVENTURE CALLS! across the Pacific as Samuel Goldwyn offers you magic such as the screen has never known . . . the authors of “Mutiny on the Bounty” bring you two hours of adventure and reckless romance that reach a breathtaking climax as the hurricane roars to a mighty crescendo of excitement!

For her he challenged all law . . . defying even the elements!

Enraged . . . Terangi strikes a stranger . . . the police!
Condemned . . . he kills his jailer to escape prison!
Freed. . . by a death-defying dive over the cliffs!
Alone . . . across the reefs of a dangerous sea!
A man’s gamble for life . . . starvation, food or death!
Reunited . . . with his loved ones before the storm!
The battle for life as the hurricane descends!

Set in the South Seas, the film is about a Polynesian, Terangi (Jon Hall), who is unjustly imprisoned after being attacked by a racist with political connections. Unable to bear being confined, Terangi repeatedly tries to escape, lengthening his sentence from 6 months to 16 years. He succeeds in getting out after 8 years but at a terrible price: he unintentionally kills a guard. He steals a canoe and returns to his island home after an arduous journey. He is reunited with his wife, Marama (Dorothy Lamour), and a daughter he has never seen before. As he is hunted down, the island is struck by a once-in-a-lifetime hurricane.

My sister was wearing a beautiful lavalava she has owned for 33 years. It was admired by some of the locals .
