SICKS6SIX S 65% from me, Heston is the archetypical hypocrite and he acts the part well I'm not a fan of Heston, I don't put him among the great actors and at times this film is cringy and creepy, it's not a Saturday night family film it is more a Tuesday afternoon film, supporting cast didn't win any awards nor did the director, its a bit of a dud even with the locations the cinematic feel to the film is as if the actors are standing in front of postcards of Hawaii and not actually on the Island, it cost a lot of money to make and I'm guessing that was on wages, hotels, flights and expense accounts because it wasn't spent on the production of the film that's for sure, Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Watchable soap opera with stunning widescreen location photography of Kauai and early 60s Waikiki Beach. Charlton Heston, in a commanding performance, plays a plantation owner who refuses to let his sister, Yvette Mimieux, marry a local Hawaiian boy. His hypocrisy is called out when it is revealed he is having an affair with a local Asian woman. George Chakiris and James Darren play Hawaiian brothers in love triangle, vying for the love of Yvette, a headstrong alcoholic dingbat. That said, Yvette is so beautifu and sexy in this movie. I like how movie captures the look and feel of living in late 1950s rural Hawaii, and the depiction of Western ranch life, Also the startling subtext, of the dark, creepy vibe of Heston's nearly incestous attraction to his sister, Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Audience Member A long and boring movie Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Charlton Heston is a controlling Hawaiian plantation owner in this rather boring soap opera. Yvette Mimieux plays his also head strong sister. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review ashley h Diamond Head is a decent film. It is about rich Hawaiian pineapple grower and US Senatorial candidate Richard Howland who tries to control everything and everyone around him. Charlton Heston and France Nuyen give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Guy Green did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion pictures because of the drama. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Good old fashioned trash wallow with beautiful location shooting and some ridiculous casting choices. Moondoggie as an Hawaiian? Really? Still fun in a lush soap operaish way. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
