White shadows in the South Seas
"Even today, the Marquesas Islands beckon travelers yearning for an exotic and authentic Polynesian experience. Imagine the wonder of 1928 audiences when White shadows in the South Seas took them thousands of miles from home to that remote Eden of rolling waves and palm-fringed beaches. The first of W.S. Van Dyke's famed filmed-on-location adventures (the others: The pagan and Trader Horn) tells a dramatic tale of foreign interlopers -- a booze-sodden doctor and a rapacious pearl trader - who bring destruction to a vibrant Pacific culture. The film features synchronized music and sound effects plus spectacular, Academy Award-winning cinematography that captures a paradise in peril."--Container.

- "A drunken disillusioned doctor disapproves of the evil influence of white culture on the unspoiled Polynesians. He goes off and lives the life of a god with a group who had never seen a white man before. Eventually the pearl traders find his island and kill him when he opposes their "civilization.""@en
- ""Lloyd, a drunken, demoralized white doctor who defends a tribe of Marquesan natives against the greed of Sebastian, an unscrupulous trader, is unjustly accused of a crime and tied to the wheel of a plagued ship that is set adrift. The vessel is wrecked in a typhoon, and Lloyd is washed ashore on an island where the natives, who have never seen a white man before, revere him as a god. Sebastian's trading schooner anchors offshore, and Lloyd pleads with the natives to keep Sebastian and his men off the island; the natives do not heed his advice, however, and Lloyd is shot to death by one of Sebastian's crew. With Lloyd out of the way, Sebastian is free to set up a trading post, cheating the natives and ruining their lives with bad whiskey"--AFI catalog, 1921-1930."@en
