Bird of Paradise (1932)
My views
I think this must be one of the finest films I have ever seen and even as old as it is it leaves todays movies in ruins with its genuinity and simple uncomplicated plot. As mentioned Joel Macrae falls in love with the absolutely gorgeous Dolores Del Rio and the cultures end up dividing them in the end. It showed to me how civilized man wants to have his island love but then would like to take her back to civilization and what for. He would not have what he fell in love with. Simple Island life take it or leave it but don't try and get her back to another world she would never understand or appreciate. Very erotic kissing scene as islanders rub noses he kisses her and the actions lend to the imagination of what is really intended but all just a great film with lots of entertaining dancing music and island culture before the missionaries came and ruined it all to their puritanical ideals
The Cape Town Affair (1967)
Review
This film is a remake of a film made in 1953 known as Pick Up On South Street Starred Richard Widmark Jean Peters and Thelma Ritter. The bad guy looked like Alan Arkin but cant see his names in any of the credits It was basically the same theme and even the music used was the same for the most part Man is it hard to get 10 lines when you just want to inform some people about a movie so now a bit of padding to get the 10 lines that's what cost me in University I could not regurgitate 1000 pages on nonsense to tell one simple story Hope this is of interest I think I made my 10 line requirement. Well I am back again to make sure I have the number of lines required to get submitted. Not sure why we have to go 10 lines when you can say it in 4 but anyway maybe now it will be OK for submission to the grammar captains
