Steve D 04/06/2024 How do you get Lancaster and then make a film this unamusing. See more 08/01/2014 Has an odd mix of drama and comedy and you're never quite sure which genre is more dominant, however Burt Lancaster gives a good account of himself despite the accidental desertion theme being somewhat bland alongside the simmering relationship to be. See more 04/02/2013 2: An engaging story, but I can't say it is a great film. Burt Lancaster gives an adequate performance, but what struck me most about the picture was the fact that modest backlot sets were sufficient to give one the sense of a faraway place. It isn't an authentic feel, but it works just the same. All in all a pretty silly but somehow entertaining film. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 12/28/2012 South Sea Woman is an entertaining film. It is about an AWOL marine who is court-martialed for a variety of offenses that carry 143 years in the stockade or the death penalty but refuses to aid in his own defense. Burt Lancaster, Virginia Mayo, and Chuck Connors give excellent. The screenplay is well written with plenty of action. Arthur Lubin did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the adventure and comedy. South Sea Woman is a must see.
