Tomorrow (Tuesday April 2) at 6AM EDT, TCM will be showing "White Shadows in the South Seas" (1928) which is listed on the South Seas Cinema website on this page. Here's the synopsis from the TCM website:

An alcoholic doctor runs off to Tahiti, where he finds love with a native girl.

and here's the Leonard Maltin review:

D: W. S. Van Dyke. Monte Blue, Raquel Torres, Robert Anderson. MGM's first sound film features stunning, Oscar-winning cinematography of the Marquesas Islands (now French Polynesia) welded to a story about the corrupting influence of Western civilization, with Blue as an alcoholic doctor who falls in love with native Torres and clashes with exploitative trader Anderson. Portions of the beautiful, documentary-style footage were shot under the supervision of Robert Flaherty, who fought with the studio over its emphasis on a melodramatic plot and left the production.

Those interested may want to set their DVRs (I have).
