      Steve D I expected a lot more to it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Sweet tempered take on the material with much better acting than the more recent remake. Jean Simmons is so very young and beautiful. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Robin Holabird Robin Holabird Following author Henry De Vere Stacpoole's 1908 novel with its theme exploring innocence and natural love, 1949's film captures the tone using less salaciousness than the 1980 interpretation. Aug 11, 2021 Full Review Virginia Graham The Spectator It is, in fact, rather charming. Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Shane Burridge rec.arts.movies.reviews The innocent approach to 1949's LAGOON works better when viewed as an alternative or balance to the less restricted remake.
