Max von Sydow pops up in this story of missionaries sent to Hawaii in the 1820s. It is really the story of his wife, Jerusha, who pines away in the island paradise. Von Sydow took a similar role in The Emigrants, a film in which he again uproots his wife only to see her disintegrate. Von Sydow the missionary is unyielding and out-of-touch. Themes are predictable, natives suffering as a result of contact with Europeans. - @Thursday, June 16, 2016 11:24 PM

Excelente película que vi hace más de treinta años en la televisión española y que hasta la fecha he sido incapaz de encontrar. Es una pena: un reparto de lujo, una fotografía incomparable y con el sabor que sólo las películas de aventyras de los años 50 - 60 sabían dar - @Sunday, July 27, 2014 9:28 PM
