Product Description:
Two navy veterans cover for a buddy whose daughter has found his polynesian paradise.Studio: Paramount Home VideoRelease Date: 04/11/2006Starring: John Wayne Dorothy LamourRun time: 109 minutesRating: NrDirector: John Ford
Amazon.com:
John Wayne's last film with mentor and long-time collaborator John Ford (The Searchers) is a 1963 comedy about a group of war veterans settled on a South Pacific island. When the daughter of one of them (Jack Warden) comes for a visit, the freewheeling status quo between the boys is disrupted. This is Ford in his chummy, amiable, roughhousing mode--think of Victor McLaglen's drunken fight scene in Ford's She Wore a Yellow Ribbon--and it is entirely pleasurable. Wayne is comfortable in his man's-man role, and Lee Marvin (who played Wayne's nemesis in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) is effectively roguish. --Tom Keogh

Except for the missing scenes, ... Read More
Rating: - Tell me about a director who could turn a holiday into a film!
Only John Ford could do a trick like that!
A gently amusing comedy (funny enough) filmed as a pretext of having a good time!...
Also a family film (which is a great thing to have around).

PS: I only think Richard Lester pulled partially the same trick (partially) when filming HELP! with The Beatles... who choosed going to ski and the Bahamas for the sake of it! (they knew we teenagers back then would be going no matter what to the theaters ... Read More
Rating: - The Last Great John Ford-John Wayne Collaboration
This film has a lot of endearing and great elements. The film is set in the South Pacific with a rowdy cast of characters - John Wayne, Jack Warden and Lee Marvin. War buddies from World War II and living on the island ever since the end of the war, the Doc (Jack Warden) has a daughter who visits the island. Chaos ensues as the doc's friends cover his back while he's away visiting the outer islands. The daughter, heiress to a huge shipping company, might be offended by her father's marriage to a local ... Read More
