K M Filmed on location, this is a wonderful tale of good versus evil and the power of love wrapped up attractive and charismatic package of Ramon Novarro. The story is fairly predictable but well paced and balanced between the innocence of island life and the savagery of the horny white male. Gripping and satisfying finale. I'm glad I came across this little known gem! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review kevin w Six months before the stock market crash that led to the Depression Americans flocked to see this evocation of innocence and simplicity on a magical isle far away from everything. Ramon Navarro was just about as hot as a leading man could be and shirtless; singing about his "Pagan Love", a song that stayed popular for decades. Woody van Dyck returns to the tropics again with this simple tale of yearning for the peace of loving. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
