Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTrying to take advantage of the 3-D fad of the early 50s, the film was shot in 3-D. But, by the time of the premiere on December 23, 1953, interest in 3-D had died down considerably. After a two-week run, all 3-D prints were pulled. The film was given a national release "flat", in other words, in regular prints.
- GoofsSergeant O'Hara's shirt is wet with sweat as he leaves the radio tent but dry as he exits.
- Quotes
Mrs. Davidson: Thank heaven she's gone. She disturbed Mr. Davidson horribly last night. He despises women of that kind.
Dr. MacPhail: The founder of our religion was not so squeamish.

Featured review
Imagine Pat Robertson pointing his boney crazy fingers out of the screen at you and you've got the picture.
Just saw this at the World 3-D Film Expo and it was quite enjoyable. The movie has great depth and wasn't filmed in a really gimmicky 3-D style. The transitions between location and sound stage work was fairly seamless and there were scenes I really wasn't certain if they were shot in Hollywood or the South Pacific.
It's always interesting to stumble on old movies like these that resonate more than 50 years later. How much and how little has changed when it comes to religious zealots...hhmmm?
