Product Description:
Two navy veterans cover for a buddy whose daughter has found his polynesian paradise. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 04/11/2006 Starring: John Wayne Dorothy Lamour Run time: 109 minutes Rating: Nr Director: John Ford
Amazon.com:
John Wayne's last film with mentor and long-time collaborator John Ford (The Searchers) is a 1963 comedy about a group of war veterans settled on a South Pacific island. When the daughter of one of them (Jack Warden) comes for a visit, the freewheeling status quo between the boys is disrupted. This is Ford in his chummy, amiable, roughhousing mode--think of Victor McLaglen's drunken fight scene in Ford's She Wore a Yellow Ribbon--and it is entirely pleasurable. Wayne is comfortable in his man's-man role, and Lee Marvin (who played Wayne's nemesis in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) is effectively roguish. --Tom Keogh

The most fun movie John Wayne ever made. Amazing landscape shots of Hawaiian islands. This movie technically qualifies as a Christmas movie. Story line begins on the 7th of December and ends at Christmas. Part romantic comedy this family fun film can be appreciated by all ages. Play drinking game using character names and action shots (fights, breaking bottles, etc.).

This is one of the Duke's family movie night specials that isn't a western. Sometimes us girls like a little comedy and romance in our movies and this one is packed with both.
Rating: -
one of the duke's few comedies. good match with lee marvin who usually plays a tough guy.
Rating:  -
The movie was still very good, but I couldn't believe how many scenes were cut. Even scenes that I have recently scene on tv were missing. And I saw no reason for it.
The major scene missing is one where you see the daughter riding in the back of the jeep into town. The jeep bounces and she falls onto the ground. At the end of the movie this happens again and you hear John Wayne say "not again". Which makes no sense since the first time is missing.
Except for the missing scenes, the movie is very enjoyable.

Only John Ford could do a trick like that!
A gently amusing comedy (funny enough) filmed as a pretext of having a good time!...
Also a family film (which is a great thing to have around).
RECOMMENDED
ADB
PS: I only think Richard Lester pulled partially the same trick (partially) when filming HELP! with The Beatles... who choosed going to ski and the Bahamas for the sake of it! (they knew we teenagers back then would be going no matter what to the theaters to hear the songs and see them perform in colour... NO MTV back then).
