"A handsome South Seas soldier-of-fortune falls in love with the daughter of a Polynesian native chieftain. Alas, their idyllic romance is destined to come to a sudden and violent end: tribal custom decrees that she is to be sacrificed to the local volcano. After initial resistance, the heroine nobly resigns herself to her fate, realizing that there is no place for her in her white lover's civilization."
"This implausibly exotic South Seas romance between an American interloper and a doomed native princess pares down thematically to a collision between sexuality and civilisation not unlike a sort of anti-puritan Western with island natives substituted for Indians. Vidor and Selznick were to come together again to depict racially crossed love ending with delirious death in Duel in the Sun (1946)."@en
