They cast movies strangely years ago. Chandler is a South Seas native and his sister, Paget, is a sort of a Fijian princess. Maurice Schwartz is a medicine man, the ever-urbane Sloane is a beachcomber, in this handsomely mounted remake of the 1932 Joel McCrea/Dolores Del Rio version of the same Richard Tully play. Daves wears many hats. The story is very basic; Jourdan accompanies Chandler to his island home and falls in love with Paget. They woo (against all native traditions) and their courting courts disaster and predictions of terrible things from the witch doctors. A local volcano erupts and Paget's answer is to assume responsibility for the whole thing and to throw herself into the volcano to appease it. Talk about guilt! Paget (born Debralee Griffin) does a good job. Maurice Schwartz was one of the greatest actors of the Yiddish stage and introduced the title character of Tevya in an early Yiddish-language film.
