goldstandard$'s video: CALL OF THE SOUTH SEAS 1944 : AN ESPIONAGE CLASSIC

[PLEASE READ] Princess Tahia is a beautiful French Polynesian idealist who falls in love with an American spy who is on a mission to extradite an American embezzler living large on her island. This unheralded film incorporates elements anticipating some of those that made the James Bond film franchise so successful a generation later—an exotic setting; a determined and dashing leading man (Allan Lane); an unscrupulous villain (Roy Barcroft); comic relief (Wally Vernon); an explosive chase scene in boats a la FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE; and beautiful women (e.g. Adele Mara as an exotic dancer). And like any great “Bond Girl,” Janet Martin’s “Princess Tahia” has beauty, “authority,” and—uniquely—a sweet femininity and cheerfulness that ought to win the heart of every viewer. But will the hero win the girl? And complete his mission? Watch the movie! “Call of the South Seas” premiered in the United States on April 7, 1944.
