Storyline
Plot Summary |
On the Island of Manukura, a French colony in the South Seas, joyful Terangi is a leader among the natives and the first mate of the Katopua, the tall ship of Captain Nagle. Terangi marries Marama and soon sails to Tahiti. While in a bar playing with other natives, Terangi is offended by an alcoholic French racist and he hits him, breaking his jaw. Despite Captain Nagle's testimony, Terangi is sentenced to six months of forced labor since the victim had political connections with the Powers That Be. Captain Nagle asks the Governor Eugene DeLaage to uses his influence to help Terangi, but the governor refuses. Terangi unsuccessfully tries to escape from the prison, and each attempt increases his sentence. Eight years later, he finally escapes and his jailbreak is celebrated in Manukura. Father Paul finds his canoe and brings Terangi to the island. But a devastating hurricane also arrives in the island threatening the dwellers. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |

Trivia | According to Life Magazine, special effects wizard James Basevi was given a budget of $400,000 to create his effects. He spent $150,000 to build a native village with a lagoon 200 yards long, and then spent $250,000 destroying it. See more » |
Goofs | As the the hurricane bears down on the church with its flooding fury, some of the native islanders choose to escape the failing structure by making their way out clinging to a tied off rope. As one of the huge waves hits the rope, a couple of the women islanders get flipped over and appear to be drowning. During the flip, one of the women's sarong top gets pulled down from the special effects wave and for a split second there is a bare breast exposure which the censors didn't catch. See more » |

DeLaage:
You helped Terangi? My own priest? Father Paul: I'm his priest too! DeLaage: You helped a murderer! Father Paul: I aided a man whose heart is innocent. DeLaage: You've given aid to anarchy and bloodshed! Father Paul: I'll answer for it. See more » |
