THE HURRICANE sure has a lot of Pre-Tiki Poly pop history around it: The star of the film, Jon Hall, was related to Norman Hall, co-writer not only of the novel that "The Hurricane" was based on, but also of the "Mutiny on the Bounty"! (Award winning cinematographer Conrad "Conny" Hall was his son. ) Jon Hall also was married to Frances Langford, USO performer in the South Seas, who later opened The OUTRIGGER restaurant in Florida. Director John Ford, famous for his Westerns, also directed "Donovan's Reef" And Dorothy Lamour was THE South Sea movie queen of the 30s and 40s.
