| User ReviewCasey OMonte Blue plays a doctor to live on a Polynesian island. He is appalled at how the native pearl divers are used and exploited by a ruthless entrepeneur. They clash. Of course there is romance involved as well. Fascinating silent film, beautifully photographed and has a pleasant score. |
