This is the most underrated movie of all time and certainly the most underrated John Ford film. I love Wayne in this movie. Lee Marvin is just superb genius no other way to describe that performance and the whole picture made me want to see the South Seas which I did. I still see Te movie often and there are still lovely surprises. John Wayne has such a magnificent presence and the fight scenes are violent but still funny as I was brought up to appreciate them. The Aussie sailors sequence at the end is actually believable it is so bad. I don't know the name of the big polynesian policeman but isn't he wonderful in that part? Pity real life isn't so. But you know that is why we love the movies after all isn't it? regards Frank Smith.
score 10/10
