Three drunk white men, one island, zero dignity — pre-Code cinema at its messiest.
On a South Seas island, "three white derelicts drink away memories of the past. After many adventures during which a girl enters the picture, the three are rehabilitated and everything turns out happily."
Production
Fake tropical sets that scream 'shot in Burbank.'
Acting
Henry B. Walthall's thousand-yard stare carries the whole thing.
Director
George B. Seitz
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
George B. Seitz directed 100+ films but this 'South Seas romance' was so obscure it barely survived in archives.
The 'tropical paradise heals white men' narrative peaked here, right before the Great Depression made escapism far less innocent.
