The print is gone, and I won't borrow 1941 to pretend I saw the islands.

The review
Leave Aloma of the South Seas where it is, which is nowhere. The print is gone. Many lists still call it the year's largest, near 3 million, and a figure is not a film I can check. Gilda Gray as a dancer in the islands. A white veteran and a tangle of old lovers. Maurice Tourneur shot it in Puerto Rico and Bermuda. A trailer survives. The 1941 remake is a different story, and I won't tell that plot.
The islands are a costume for a white romance. Say that and stop. I haven't seen the picture because nobody can. A trailer is not a night with tired kids, and a lost hit is no reason to borrow a later film so the plot has an ending. The country paid for a romance it can no longer see.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

The Monster She Married
31 instead of 19
The Monster She Married is still a romance film, and it scores 31 instead of 19. What you gain is courage: Leaving would be the courage.
