It's an amazing movie, shot by John Ford and filled with dream-like South Seas imagery. It's a spooky, haunting film. Come to think of it, I don't know if there's a single Tiki in it, but its got everything else and Dorothy Lamour is really hot here.

They shot the Hurricane sequence by opening up like 50,000 gallons of water and dumping it on dozens of extras to make it look like they were drowning, which won them a special FX Oscar but basically that's all they did - dumped 50,000 gallons of water on dozens of extras and almost drowned them.

Hey Conga, enjoy!
