Released by RKO Radio Pictures and directed by the versatile Allan Dwan, this sweeping feature is beautifully shot in vibrant Technicolor and wide-screen SuperScope. The gripping narrative centers on a pair of opportunistic fortune hunters, Lilah (Virginia Mayo) and Dan (Dennis Morgan), who team up with a ruthless, unprincipled captain (David Farrar). Together, they hatch a dangerous plan to infiltrate a remote, uncharted tropical island rumored to hide a fortune in priceless, pristine black pearls. The island is governed by a benevolent white patriarch, Michael Stuart (Basil Sydney), who has spent decades protecting the native population from the corruption and greed of the outside world. To uncover the location of the hidden treasure, Lilah poses as a devout missionary, successfully gaining the trust of the islanders and Stuart's idealistic son, George (Lance Fuller). However, as genuine romantic feelings begin to develop and the captain's greed turns increasingly violent, the island's peaceful paradise explodes into a desperate, action-packed battle for survival.
Featuring dramatic underwater sequences, native rituals, and a standout performance by Virginia Mayo, Pearl of the South Pacific stands as a defining milestone of mid-1950s Hollywood escapist cinema.

00:00:28The
00:02:14Rita.
00:02:17Amazing, Dan.
00:02:18You even remember my name.
00:02:21What I don't know is how you got aboard.
00:02:23Me either.
00:02:26Oh, I must have swallowed an octopus.
00:02:30Anyway, you're getting off.
00:02:37Going kind of fast, isn't you, Denny boy?
00:02:40Meet Miss Delane, my new fiancée.
00:02:45You think it's so impossible?
00:02:48I've never known a man like Bully.
00:02:51He's so gentle, so lonesome, so helpless.
00:02:57What woman could resist him?
00:03:01Besides, I like ocean travel.
00:03:03Then book yourself passage on a jug for China.
00:03:07Your new girlfriend is leaving now.
00:03:10Now, that ain't charitable, Denny boy.
00:03:12There's a move to human kindness.
00:03:15It's a long swim back to Port Good from here.
00:03:21Swim.
00:03:31Who ordered us out to sea?
00:03:33Your partner, naturally.
00:03:35You weren't in very crisp shape to give orders yourself.
00:03:38What did she sell you, Bully?
00:03:39A fake map of a sunken treasure or an island in the sky?
00:03:43This.
00:03:48Black Pearl.
00:03:51I thought I knew all the bilge that floated in with the tide.
00:03:54Where'd you get it?
00:03:55Out of the eye of a red-headed mermaid?
00:03:58Teacup.
00:03:58Come.
00:04:05Teacup.
00:04:06Who's he?
00:04:07A native of the palace.
00:04:09I picked him up in Port Good.
00:04:11Took care of him out of the kindness of your heart, I suppose.
00:04:14As a matter of fact, yes.
00:04:15He drifted over 300 miles in an outrigger.
00:04:18Only one of his tribe able to get outside his own reef.
00:04:22Whispering the name of the secret island, I suppose.
00:04:25Yes.
00:04:30He's dead.
00:04:32I suppose there is such a place.
00:04:33How are you gonna find it?
00:04:35We know all about that island.
00:04:46A Dutch trader offered me 5,000 pounds for that pearl.
00:04:51A million bucks split three ways.
00:04:55Catch yourself in or out, partner.
00:04:59What are you gonna trade for him?
00:05:01Glances or prayers?
00:05:02Prayers, maybe.
00:05:04Well, Captain Boss, you gonna swim back to poverty
00:05:07or bob for golden apples?
00:05:10A million dollars split three ways.
00:05:13You got yourself a deal.
00:05:16I'm gonna go.
00:05:18I'm gonna go.
00:05:37I'm gonna go.
00:05:40Do, do, do, do, do.
00:05:43Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
00:05:46That Rita.
00:05:47She's a nice girl, eh, boss?
00:05:49Ah, shut up.
00:05:53I can't get away.
00:05:58Break it off.
00:06:00There were words that weren't with it, but I...
00:06:02I seemed to have forgotten them.
00:06:06You might help me to remember.
00:06:09I said break it off.
00:06:24She's still a nice girl, boss.
00:06:31Dino!
00:06:40Take over.
00:06:49What are you trying to start?
00:06:51You got bullied, Julie. Now you're aiming your bed at me.
00:06:54I told you to keep away.
00:06:56Why did you do it, Dan?
00:06:59Why did you cut and run?
00:07:00A man does a lot of things he doesn't give himself reasons for.
00:07:04Greed, that's what it was.
00:07:06Greed for money.
00:07:08Money for you and your girls.
00:07:11Anything you happen to fancy.
00:07:13When it came to me or money, I didn't stand a chance.
00:07:19Well, all right. I want money, too.
00:07:22Enough to buy me anything.
00:07:25Or any man.
00:07:26And that's all it takes is money.
00:07:29Better to break clean.
00:07:31I wanted you to forget me.
00:07:33Well, I didn't forget you.
00:07:35I saw your face in every man's face I looked at.
00:07:40I got rid of a lot of hate that way.
00:07:44But it was your face I wanted to see again.
00:07:47I promised myself that you'd know and feel that hate.
00:07:51And if hate could kill, you'd be dead a thousand times.
00:07:56So it's a big world.
00:07:58With a bully Haig waiting on every corner.
00:08:00Wait, you...
00:08:30Stop it! Stop it before you kill each other!
00:08:53Land home!
00:09:02Far away. Dead ahead.
00:09:15It's the island, all right. There's an open temple.
00:09:21Rita!
00:09:27Better get ready.
00:09:58Let's go!
00:10:28I will ask for a sign.
00:10:33Oh Tagaloa, hear my voice, give us your answer for the good of your people.
00:10:41Your eyes are bright to see the wind from whence it blows.
00:10:46Give us a sign, Tagaloa consents to this betrothal.
00:10:54It is good the son of the high priest should marry the daughter of the warrior chief.
00:10:58It is good.
00:11:00Momu.
00:11:05Would it please you to be betrothed to George?
00:11:08I have always loved him to un Michael.
00:11:11When the taboo is lifted, I shall not look at any other man.
00:11:15You make me very happy, Momu.
00:11:17Momu.
00:11:22We will speak to my son.
00:11:33Well, George, we have only to set the wedding day.
00:11:37When you are married to Momu, you will be more than just my son.
00:11:40You will be a leader.
00:11:42And one day you will take my place as high priest.
00:11:45Do you understand?
00:11:48But you have taught me so much about the outside world, Father.
00:11:54There is another way of life.
00:11:56Believe me.
00:11:57Believe me, my son.
00:11:58You are very fortunate.
00:11:59I have seen the outside world and I know where of I speak.
00:12:02Men who live in that world have always sought a happier place than their own.
00:12:06Some far off isle of contentment.
00:12:09Many have sought it, but few ever find it.
00:12:13Long ago, the troubled man found this place, the Prince of India.
00:12:17He built this temple, and here he lived in peace with his God.
00:12:22Since his time, nothing here has changed.
00:12:24Each generation has lived like the other, tranquil and happy.
00:12:28But the world outside has changed, and not for the better.
00:12:32This is a cause for sorrow.
00:12:34So as long as I live, I shall keep this island just as I found it.
00:12:38And you will help me, not for yourself alone, but for your children.
00:12:42And you will all be happier for it.
00:12:46If only I could see a little of the outside world.
00:12:50India, perhaps.
00:12:52Or Paris.
00:12:54My boy, since I first came here, only one man has ever left this island.
00:12:58You knew him, Takop.
00:13:00And I trust no evil will come of it.
00:13:03Takaloha will punish Takop.
00:13:05He will die.
00:13:06Better for us if he does.
00:13:08For Takop could destroy this island.
00:13:10He carried its secret away with him.
00:13:29Blessed are they...
00:13:33Rita, better get ready.
00:13:34Meek.
00:13:35Hear me?
00:13:35For they...
00:13:36Yes, I hear you.
00:13:39Blessed are the...
00:13:43Meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
00:13:46Blessed are the...
00:13:49Peacemakers.
00:13:50For they shall be...
00:13:54Persecuted for righteousness' sake.
00:14:22I have brought you together here because this is a place of happy memories.
00:14:26And it was here that I was married to the beloved mother of my son.
00:14:30So let it be a good sign that this wedding take place here.
00:14:35Oh, goddess of love, lift the taboo between these two betrothed ones.
00:14:40Let them look upon each other.
00:14:43The taboo is lifted.
00:14:45The taboo is lifted.
00:15:15Old of the old man's head.
00:15:17How close to shore, Taku?
00:15:19Headed for the cove.
00:15:20We must drive it away.
00:15:21They must be married first, Juan Michael.
00:15:22Let them wait.
00:15:23It's a ship that matters. These ships bring evil.
00:15:25We must go at once.
00:15:26But the goddess will be angry if the sacred rites are broken.
00:15:29If the goddess is angry, let her punish me.
00:15:31Sound the alarm.
00:15:47It's from the big world.
00:16:13Pick your place.
00:16:14Father, let the white men come on shore for once.
00:16:16No, I say.
00:16:17For your own good, come and see for yourself.
00:16:55I say, please.

00:22:20Before you bestow your blessings, I must warn you,
00:22:23your reprieve is not final. Come with me.
00:22:41I gather from your credentials, Mr. Lane,
00:22:43that you have been sent by the Missionary Society
00:22:45to extend the blessings of civilization.
00:22:47Without they are sincere,
00:22:49but we prefer to be left alone.
00:22:52Is this a becoming welcome, sir,
00:22:54when we've come so far to extend the hand of fellowship?
00:22:58I know what the hand of fellowship
00:22:59and the blessings of civilization have brought to the other islands.
00:23:03Sickness, drunkenness, greed, lust.
00:23:05I shall protect this island from these things as long as I can.
00:23:08And what a protector.
00:23:10Feeding them on idols and hate the stranger.
00:23:14I mean, sir,
00:23:16it's a sin to keep the savages in darkness
00:23:18without knowledge of the truth.
00:23:20My people are not savages, Mr. Lane.
00:23:22They are simple and honest.
00:23:23More so than most people I knew in the civilized world.
00:23:29You say mission people send you here?
00:23:32Yes.
00:23:33They want to help you.
00:23:35They want to take care of the sick and give you faith.
00:23:38Why?
00:23:40Well, uh,
00:23:42you have no faith.
00:23:44You don't worship God.
00:23:46Tagaloha is God.
00:23:48If you know a better one,
00:23:49you show him to us.
00:23:51I must consider this problem, Mr. Lane.
00:23:53Until it's settled,
00:23:54you must remain within these confines.
00:23:57And do not stray about the island.
00:23:59It would be dangerous.
00:24:08She is a foreign devil woman.
00:24:10The ship is a devil ship.
00:24:12It will bring evil to the island.
00:24:14It has already stopped the wedding.
00:24:16It is not good to break the sacred rites.
00:24:18The wedding must go on.
00:24:19It will take place in good time, Haramono.
00:24:21The good time is now.
00:24:23Until these strangers are gone,
00:24:24there will be no happiness for us.
00:24:26It is better for us they go.
00:24:28Now, or die.
00:24:30Tagaloha must decide that.
00:24:32Has he not given us a good way of life?
00:24:34Has he not kept peace on the island?
00:24:36Be patient.
00:24:38Tagaloha will continue to protect us.
00:25:12Tagaloha will continue to protect us.
00:25:15Ragaloha will continue to protect us.
00:25:15Hang on.
00:25:16In the future we have to live theuardian.
00:25:16No otherahren will continue to protect us,いestτε
00:25:17sehenyou. k
00:25:51Oh, my God.
00:26:38The women in Paris, Paris and France, do they swim in clothes like these?
00:26:45Well, they don't in San Francisco.
00:27:00It's still on your mind, huh?
00:27:03That's my business.
00:27:04No, it ain't me.
00:27:05Not anymore.
00:27:07It's mine and Rita's.
00:27:09And when this business is over...
00:27:15Oh, my God.
00:27:22Oh, my God.
00:27:26Oh, my God.
00:27:41Oh, my God.
00:27:43Oh, my God.
00:29:02Rita, Rita, wake up.
00:29:07Where is it?
00:29:08There.
00:29:10Just a minute, I'll dress.
00:29:40What?
00:30:01I'll dress.
00:30:02I'll dress.
00:30:04I'll dress.
00:30:08I'll dress.
00:30:15I'll dress.
00:30:24I'll dress.
00:30:33I'll dress.
00:30:33I'll dress.
00:30:47I'll dress.
00:30:48Take ship.
00:30:48Leave our island.
00:30:49Go away.
00:31:19Well?
00:31:20Yes, I burnt the clothes, too, on Michael.
00:31:24George was very angry about it.
00:31:26That woman has only been here a short time.
00:31:28And already, you are a thief.
00:31:30I'll dress.
00:31:45I'll dress.
00:31:56I'll dress.
00:31:59That woman.
00:32:01Tell me, how come your father elected himself god around here?
00:32:06Tagaloa is their god.
00:32:08These people worship an idol.
00:32:09A symbol of god.
00:32:11I am only the high priest, but I rule here.
00:32:14Self-appointed.
00:32:16Preaching Tagaloa.
00:32:18Sister Rita.
00:32:20If the people are kind and decent, what does it matter what they name their god?
00:32:26Your missionary clothes were burnt by Mumu.
00:32:29Does that make you less a missionary in that native dress?
00:32:32Well, of course not.
00:32:33But I haven't begun my work yet.
00:32:36Oh, but you have.
00:32:39Take care, George.
00:32:40Take care, George.
00:33:22Your people don't fish with spears like other island people.
00:33:25My father changed that.
00:33:27When he first came to the island, it was harder for them to live than now.
00:33:31But he showed them many useful things.
00:33:34Gotta make a better life.
00:33:35So they wanted him for their chief.
00:33:38George, you're neglecting your studies?
00:33:41Sister Rita, it would be quite easy for me to send you packing together with your friends
00:33:46and the threat you bring to us.
00:33:47But in the eyes of my son, you're the outside world.
00:33:51So I must make the best of you.
00:33:58Hello.
00:33:59Hey, what are you doing?
00:34:01We're making ships so we can sail like the birds.
00:34:06Those are three fine ships, all right.
00:34:08They could sail anywhere.
00:34:10Even to the moon, I bet.
00:34:12What's that?
00:34:14It's a concertina.
00:34:17It sings.
00:34:18Do it again.
00:34:39One little, two little, three little Indians, four little, five little, six little Indians, seven little, eight little, nine little
00:34:45Indians, ten little Indian boys, ten little Indian boys.

00:35:15One little Indian boys
00:35:18Hey, look what I can do.
00:35:20Oh, be careful, you fall.
00:35:24Look at the muscles.
00:35:29Oh, my legs.
00:35:31I told you not to do these things.
00:35:34Oh, I'll take him.
00:35:36Tuan Michael.
00:35:41Tuan Michael, come quick.
00:35:47Tomasus.
00:35:48Is it bad?
00:35:49Will he die?
00:35:50Is it bad?
00:35:51It's his ankle.
00:35:52I told him not to do these things.
00:35:54I told him.
00:35:54Splint some bandages, George.
00:35:56Yeah, it's broken.
00:35:58Be quiet.
00:35:59Wait outside, Junior.
00:36:00Oh, no, please, Duan Michael, let me stay, please.
00:36:02All right, sit in that chair.
00:36:04You must help me.
00:36:05I have no anesthetic.
00:36:07It's going to hurt you, Tomasus.
00:36:10But not bad.
00:36:11I know you have a man's courage.
00:36:18Oh, no, no.
00:36:23Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:27Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:28Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:36:29Juan, Michael.
00:36:30Juan, Michael.
00:36:31Juan, Michael.
00:36:32What is it, Bakara?
00:36:33Why is she in trouble on the reef?
00:36:35Oh, I get a canoe quickly.
00:36:37Three patterns.
00:36:44Stand by the beach.
00:36:57That's swell.
00:36:58You didn't have to make it that realistic.
00:37:01I'll go over and have a look.
00:37:17I'm sorry.
00:37:19We had a little trouble with your coral reef.
00:37:22Were you sailing out backwards?
00:37:23Your bow is pointing toward shore.
00:37:25Better take it up with the wind.
00:37:28Cigar?
00:37:30He knows nothing of tobacco.
00:37:36My name's Dan Merrill.
00:37:38This is my partner, Bully Haig.
00:37:40How long will it take you to repair the damage, Mr. Merrill?
00:37:43Week. Two weeks, maybe. Depends.
00:37:46Won't know till tomorrow when we give her a thorough examination.
00:37:49You will confine your examination to your ship, Mr. Merrill.
00:37:52Don't worry. We won't steal any of your coconuts.
00:37:54George!
00:37:56Come back anytime.
00:37:58We'll teach you navigation.
00:38:01Hard to think you're qualified to teach navigation, Mr. Merrill.
00:38:04Meanwhile, the other yearninger man will go ashore.
00:38:06There will be guards posted along the beach.
00:38:08What are you trying to hide from?
00:38:10Trouble, Mr. Merrill.
00:38:12The kind that comes with men like you.
00:38:22Crazies are cute, ain't they?
00:38:24Old codger might be smarter than you think.
00:38:52What, Michael?
00:38:54What, Michael?
00:38:55What, Michael?
00:38:57What did you find, Pakar?
00:38:59I swam out to the boat.
00:39:01I died beneath her to look at the damage.
00:39:03It has been repaired one, Michael.
00:39:04There is no bad damage.
00:39:06The ship can sail.
00:39:08Godlocker says that these strangers must leave or be punished.
00:39:12It is Tagalo who must decide that, Halamano.
00:39:19He never played there
00:39:22Or he doesn't care
00:39:24But that doesn't change things for me
00:39:31My feeling is too strong
00:39:35I love him right or wrong
00:39:42I can't get away
00:39:45I can't get away
00:39:50I can't get away
00:39:57The men on the ship, are they all right?
00:40:00Naturally, since they caused the accident of the ship themselves
00:40:04They wouldn't do that
00:40:06They would never wreck the ship
00:40:08Why would they?
00:40:09They want something on my island, Miss Delaine
00:40:11But whatever it is
00:40:13They won't get it
00:40:15You have no faith left in anyone, have you?
00:40:18And wolves disguised as sheep's clothing
00:40:22Well, maybe you're one of them yourself
00:40:25Oh, sure
00:40:26You mend the broken ankle free of charge
00:40:28But you got a real good thing here for yourself, too
00:40:32Talking to idols
00:40:33Passing out spears
00:40:34Whenever a ship comes too close to your ten-cent kingdom
00:40:37I shall protect these people if I have to kill to do it
00:40:40Great White Father
00:40:41One man against the world, huh?
00:40:44Well, how long do you think you can keep civilization out of here with a handful of spears?
00:40:49What civilization?
00:40:51The world that sent you here?
00:40:53First comes the missionary
00:40:54With smooth, glib talk about faith and prayer
00:40:57Then the traitor with rum and trinkets and disease
00:40:59Like the men who brought you here
00:41:02For a moment today, I could almost believe there's good in you, sister Rita
00:41:07But your shipwrecking friends soon set me right again
00:41:10Whatever you are
00:41:12When they leave
00:41:14You go with them
00:41:16Tagalo, I say
00:41:17And whatever they came after
00:41:19You may save their lives
00:41:21If not their souls
00:41:22By advising them not to land
00:41:42I want to talk to you
00:41:43Let's go below
00:41:45Would you take care, George?
00:41:47Sure
00:41:49And how is my little fiancée?
00:41:53Fiancée?
00:41:54What does that mean?
00:41:55Oh, nothing, George
00:41:57Nothing at all
00:41:58I wouldn't count on that, sister, if I were you
00:42:03Come on, George, I'll show you the compass
00:42:13What's holding us up? Something gone wrong?
00:42:18Take your time
00:42:21George fixed it for us to go ashore or not?
00:42:24No, I didn't ask him to
00:42:28Dan
00:42:29That old man can read right through me
00:42:32I think he hadn't figured out from the moment I landed on his beach
00:42:35What difference does it make as long as we get what we came after?
00:42:40Find out anything about the pearls
00:42:43Sure
00:42:43They come from oysters
00:42:45Don't try to be funny
00:42:46That's all I know, so...
00:42:47Find out, hear me?
00:42:49Find out
00:42:50We're not gonna get away with it
00:42:52He's made this place his world
00:42:53And he's got no use for us in it
00:42:56Let him keep his world
00:42:57I didn't plot this course
00:42:59I was loading rum for the Celebes when you shanghaied me
00:43:03I wrecked this boat to keep you on that island
00:43:05And I'm gonna keep you there if I have to
00:43:07You have to what, Dan?
00:43:19If anyone can help us find those black beauties, it's your friend George
00:43:24Hadn't ought to take too much coaxing
00:43:26For a woman of your experience
00:43:29You oughta know
00:43:30You helped me get it
00:43:34You get your black pearls
00:43:36And I hope you end up sick to death of them
00:43:53A flower for me
00:43:56You're very nice, George
00:44:02It's sacred
00:44:04My father gave it to me
00:44:06Where would he find such a thing?
00:44:09In the lagoon
00:44:12Come with me and I will show you
00:44:15Wait a minute
00:44:18Then follow me
00:44:35To one Michael
00:44:37What is it, Mumu?
00:44:39What is it?
00:44:40I follow them into the forest, to one Michael
00:44:42George and sister Rita
00:44:45One does not spy on people, Mumu
00:44:50Oh, be patient
00:44:51It will pass
00:44:53Do not be unhappy
00:44:54What can it be helped?
00:44:55Must be born bravely
00:45:09Oh, this looks like a wonderful place to swim
00:45:14No one swims here
00:45:16Why not?
00:45:18It's not for swimming
00:45:19It is taboo
00:45:20My father said
00:45:22Oh, your father has lived here so long
00:45:23He thinks like a native
00:45:25White men don't have suspicions and taboos
00:45:29You want to be like the white men, don't you, George?
00:45:33One of the men who sail the ships across the big water
00:45:39Why don't you show me that you're not afraid?
00:45:47All right
00:45:50I'll show you
00:46:21Bill
00:46:38It's an old burial place
00:46:40To the high priest of the island
00:46:42You mean, that's the only way in or out?
00:46:46There was a seaway once, an earthquake blocked it
00:46:49We shouldn't be here
00:46:51But that sea double
00:46:54George
00:47:04Now, Tagaloa says not to
00:47:06How do you know what Tagaloa says?
00:47:09Does he talk to you?
00:47:10My father saw Tagaloa in dreams many years ago
00:47:13He said that if anyone touched that box, great harm would come to this island
00:47:17Now, you've broken the taboo, we must go
00:47:19Now, you've broken the taboo, we must go
00:47:52Let's go
00:47:57Let's go to the temple and ask the gods not to punish us for what you've done
00:48:03So your father had a vision, huh?
00:48:07You must go
00:48:08Not now
00:48:13George
00:48:16I want you to help my friends from the ship come here for fresh water
00:48:23My father would not like it
00:48:25Oh, but I would like it
00:48:30Very much
00:48:40Those fuzzers won't know it's run till they get it in them
00:48:58I was beginning to think Sister Rita didn't intend us to get ashore
00:49:01I'll have to apologize
00:49:03Look around
00:49:07New guards
00:49:08New guards
00:49:08She fixed that too?
00:49:10I don't know, maybe we're taboo
00:49:12Yeah, I don't think he likes us
00:49:17Fresh water comes in over there
00:49:26Watch me
00:49:27I make magic with this big shaker
00:49:32New kind of water
00:49:34Take a drink of this and it'll give you big power
00:49:36Bigger than magic
00:49:37Bigger than taboo
00:49:39Here, try it
00:49:41Take a drink
00:49:43Go on
00:49:49Good, eh?
00:49:51It is hot
00:49:54Makes a fire in the head
00:49:56Hey
00:49:57You boys try it
00:49:59Let me see that pearl, Willie
00:50:03Come on
00:50:03Recognize this?
00:50:05This is the pearl the teacup stole when he left the island
00:50:13Dougalore punished him for it
00:50:14He wouldn't punish the chief, son, if he dove for them, would he?
00:50:19The law says not to touch the pearls
00:50:21I cannot
00:50:22What?
00:50:24Not even one for me, George
00:50:27Just one
00:50:34Give me more drink
00:50:36I will die for two
00:50:38That's my fellow boy
00:50:40No, nobody dies for the pearls
00:50:47Hey, wait a minute
00:50:49Hey, wait a minute
00:50:49You're diving for those pearls
00:50:51You're diving for it
00:50:52If I have to tie a weight around you and throw you in that pool
00:50:58Stop it!
00:51:01Stop it!
00:51:03Stop it!
00:51:05Stop it!
00:51:06Stop it!
00:51:11Stop it!
00:51:13Stop it!
00:51:14I buy a lot of things, bully
00:51:15Not murder
00:51:16Why, you...
00:51:21What the devil is that?
00:51:23At the temple
00:51:24On the skull
00:51:28Don't go
00:51:39Don't go
00:51:40Listen to us, your children
00:51:41You guard against the ships that bear our enemies
00:51:44Give me a sign that I may hear and obey
00:51:50And what does the god Larker say?
00:51:53He does not speak again until the strangers leave
00:51:56And if the strangers do not leave?
00:51:58I told you, he will speak no more
00:52:00I will speak
00:52:02If the strangers do not leave, they must all die
00:52:04No, Halimano
00:52:06When the moon rises twice, the strangers will be gone
00:52:08I will carry this word to them myself
00:52:11And let no hand to be raised against them
00:52:17Good, eh?
00:52:19George!
00:52:23George!
00:52:24Well...
00:52:25If it isn't Mr. Tagaloa
00:52:29In person
00:52:34George!
00:52:38Go to my house
00:52:41He has to stay here
00:52:43No harm in his having a little bit of fun, is there?
00:52:47You scum of the sea spreading your poison
00:52:49One hour ashore and you start your vile tricks
00:52:52Yeah?
00:52:53And what about your tricks, Mr. White God?
00:52:57Stop it, bully!
00:52:57Oh, he's no different from the rest of us
00:52:59He'll bleed like any other man
00:53:01Bully!
00:53:01Go back to your ship!
00:53:03You're not giving orders your fusseds now
00:53:06We stay here till we want to go
00:53:08On this island, my word is law
00:53:11Go back to your...
00:53:17Like he had a stroke
00:53:20Well...
00:53:20That's what I call real nice of the old man
00:53:24Now we can get home without pearl fishing
00:53:26Without any interference
00:53:30Better get him back to his house
00:53:37Take George back to the ship
00:53:38Keep him there till he sobers up
00:53:40Father, come on, George
00:53:41I'll take care of him
00:53:58What are we gonna do?
00:54:00Stay here till it's dark
00:54:01Then we'll get out
00:54:02What if he dies?
00:54:04Nothing we can do about it
00:54:05We got what we came for and leave
00:54:09Forget the pearls, Dan
00:54:10Let's go now
00:54:11What?
00:54:12I've lied and I've cheated
00:54:13Maybe you think I've done a lot of things to a lot of men
00:54:16Well, I can't do this to Michael
00:54:19Please, Dan, don't you see?
00:54:21Going now is the one decent thing we can do
00:54:24Leaving now isn't gonna wash us any cleaner
00:54:27If he came for pearls, we're not gonna leave without him
00:54:30Michael was right
00:54:32We brought evil
00:54:34But we brought a bigger evil than ourselves
00:54:38Better come along, Rita
00:54:42Get out
00:54:56Let's go!
00:55:04Let's go!
00:55:05Them Ethan are pretty riled up, ain't they?
00:55:07They find out about Mr. Almighty
00:55:09They will any minute
00:55:11We're running out of friends pretty fast
00:55:14This is the only friend we need
00:55:16And there's plenty more in the hold
00:55:19George and me had a little drink together
00:55:22He's agreed to dive for us
00:55:24What'd you do? Hit him with the jug?
00:55:27Now, would I go busting our best diver?
00:55:30I convinced him our tender Rita's feelings were for him
00:55:33Rita's out of this
00:55:37Okay, Danny, okay
00:55:40That's how you feel about it
00:55:42Our friends below sleeping it off
00:55:46You know the first thing I'm gonna do
00:55:47Once we sail this junk out of here
00:55:48No
00:55:49Ram your teeth down your throat
00:55:53Wouldn't mind having you try
00:55:54Once we've got the pearls in our pockets
00:56:00There it is
00:56:14There's the taboo of the pool
00:56:21He's waited many years
00:56:23Maybe for me
00:56:26I've come here many times to sit and watch this devil
00:56:29Sometimes I fed him fish
00:56:30Now maybe I'll be fish for him
00:56:34He's got big arms
00:56:37But I've got a strong one
00:56:39You gotta do it, George
00:56:42I will kill the devil!
00:56:51You needs to hide
00:56:52You only can't go
00:56:54You know the pit
00:56:55I'll kill him
00:56:55I'll kill him
00:56:55I'll kill him
00:57:00I'll kill him
00:57:01I'll kill him
00:57:04Never
00:57:05I'll kill him
00:57:12You know he's a fool
00:57:31Where's your choice?
00:57:32Still below.
00:57:50It's like a zinc down there.
00:57:52Can't see a thing.
00:57:55Looks like he was right about that.
00:57:57Taboo.
00:58:42Where are the shells?
00:58:43The pearl icers.
00:58:44No shells.
00:58:46Only these.
00:58:50Seed pearls?
00:58:51What sort of a trick is this?
00:58:53They're no good to us.
00:58:55It's the black pearls we want.
00:58:58Like this one.
00:59:02It's like a big black moon.
00:59:04Only this one's shining right at me.
00:59:08I'm money, it says.
00:59:10Hard money.
00:59:11And I can buy all the Rita's in the world.
00:59:16How about that, George?
00:59:18Get the black pearls, George.
00:59:20Where these came from.
00:59:23No, the black pearls are taboo.
00:59:25These pearls can buy you everything in the world.
00:59:27You and Rita.
00:59:28You're coming with us.
00:59:31If I dive again, I'll keep half of all I bring her.
00:59:35That's fair enough.
00:59:38Well, no point in arguing about a little thing like that.
00:59:41Go on.
01:00:04What do you want?
01:00:05To see, Tuan Michael.
01:00:06The men from the ship have done bad things.
01:00:08Our people say that you have put a spell on Tuan Michael's son.
01:00:12Michael is sick.
01:00:13You can't see him.
01:00:14He can't speak.
01:00:22Tuan Michael.
01:00:24Tuan Michael.
01:00:28Tuan Michael.
01:00:29You have brought the anger of the gods upon him.
01:00:32They have punished him for not making you leave the island.
01:00:35No, Halemanov.
01:00:37I come from his world.
01:00:38I know something about his sickness.
01:00:40I can take care of him.
01:00:43Then take care of him.
01:00:44The goddess spoke and let the moon rise twice.
01:00:47If you and the white man do not go from the island.
01:00:58Keep her here.
01:01:02George.
01:01:05George.
01:01:08Has George come?
01:01:09No, Tuan Michael.
01:01:11Everything is over.
01:01:14I guess I always knew it would come like this.
01:01:18Now there's nothing I can do.
01:01:20You will get well.
01:01:21You must.
01:01:23That's what the drums are asking of Tagalo.
01:01:26But Tagalo will not be able to answer their prayers this time.
01:01:30What about these?
01:01:32There must be something here that can help you.
01:01:34For cuts and bruises.
01:01:37But nothing for an old man's tired heart.
01:01:39Don't say that, Mr. Michael.
01:01:40You don't know.
01:01:45Here is my image of Tagaloa.
01:01:48It will pass you through the guards.
01:01:51Take it.
01:01:52Hurry back to the ship, Rita.
01:01:54Hurry before it's too late.
01:01:55No.
01:01:57You love the one named Dan.
01:01:59I hate him.
01:02:01He is sick too.
01:02:04Soul sick.
01:02:06But you can make him well.
01:02:09I couldn't speak before.
01:02:13Save your strength.
01:02:14What I could hear.
01:02:18I trust you, Rita.
01:02:21There's another reason I've driven white men away from this island.
01:02:27I know.
01:02:29I understand.
01:02:31There are pearls here.
01:02:33Black pearls.
01:02:34Gathered by the prince who came here long ago.
01:02:38He knew the power for evil that was in them.
01:02:41So he hid them away.
01:02:44But I found them.
01:02:46And I've held them in sacred trust for my people.
01:02:51If outsiders should come to know about them,
01:02:55it would destroy the island.
01:02:58Forgive me, Twan Michael.
01:03:00Forgive me.
01:03:07Rita.
01:03:08Rita.
01:03:11Come on.
01:03:18George.
01:03:19Your father's very sick.
01:03:21He's been calling for you.
01:03:22Tonight, the ship sails.
01:03:24I'm going with it.
01:03:26I give these to you, Rita.
01:03:28No. No.
01:03:30You asked me to get the pearls.
01:03:31I've broken the most sacred law to get them.
01:03:35Police said if I got the pearls, you'd be my woman.
01:03:37No, George. Listen to me.
01:03:39Listen to me.
01:03:40Come on.
01:03:42The bully's waiting for you back at the lagoon.
01:03:44Bring up those black pearls.
01:03:45They are for Rita, not you.
01:03:47If she doesn't want the pearls, I won't get them.
01:03:55We're throwing a farewell lua at the other side of the island.
01:03:58That'll keep them busy till we're through.
01:04:00I'll meet you on the boat.
01:04:01You got everything all figured out, haven't you?
01:04:03Not everything.
01:04:04There are a few things left.
01:04:05How's Michael?
01:04:06Still fighting.
01:04:07Whether to keep from living or dying, I wouldn't know.
01:04:10Go on, George. Get going.
01:04:11The pearls that Rita doesn't want.
01:04:13That I don't want.
01:04:17George.
01:04:19I'll be your woman.
01:04:20All yours.
01:04:22But here on the island.
01:04:25George, get back to the lagoon.
01:04:26Give them the pearls.
01:04:27Give them everything.
01:04:28And then send them away.
01:04:29Then come back.
01:04:31I'll be waiting for you here.
01:04:56Hey!
01:05:16Please, I love George.
01:05:20We have looked upon each other.
01:05:23I have promised not to look at any other man again.
01:05:28Please, see that he comes to no harm or does any evil.
01:05:34Give him back to me.
01:05:47Hey, crawl into your diving suit. We've got to work fast. Then pull out.
01:05:51I'm not going with you. I'm staying here with Rita.
01:05:55Oh, so Sister Rita's been doing a little of her own missionary work, eh?
01:06:00You mean she's staying here with you and leaving the pearls?
01:06:04Yes.
01:06:06Dan know about this?
01:06:09Yes. Hey, wait, George.
01:06:12Why not keep everybody happy and make one last little dive, eh?
01:06:19If I get the black pearls for you,
01:06:22you promise to leave the island and never come back?
01:06:25Sure, sure.
01:06:43What you want the other day
01:06:50If I got the spider, Asian sea head,
01:06:51Oye.
01:06:57Are you the 가능se principal salesman?
01:07:09Let's go.
01:07:31Here, take the bill, boy. Be this weighty.
01:07:34You're done fine, George. I'll give you a hand.
01:07:46Never can figure on a woman when there's temptation lying around.
01:08:16We're having the farewell luau. Won't you join us?
01:08:19Where is George?
01:08:20I haven't seen him.
01:08:22Here.
01:08:25When the moon is down, the white ship and all your people must be gone.
01:08:29No argument about that.
01:08:31And the white woman, too.
01:08:35Tito, Roka.
01:08:39Get back to the boat.
01:08:46I'm not going, Dan.
01:08:48You've got to.
01:08:49I know how you feel. I feel the same way about him.
01:08:52But if he dies, we'll never get off this island alive.
01:08:55You've got what you came for, and I'll always thank her.
01:08:57Not without you.
01:09:00I thought a fistful of black pearls was worth anything.
01:09:04Even sailing with a man whose guts I hated.
01:09:09We used every dirty trick in the book, Dan.
01:09:13Maybe it wasn't only black pearls I was after.
01:09:17Maybe I was just trying to wipe out a bad memory.
01:09:20Well, now you've rubbed off, Dan.
01:09:25You end the pearls.
01:09:27You mean it, don't you?
01:09:33Michael, if you can hear me, talk some sense into her head.
01:09:36She doesn't belong here any more than I do.
01:09:38Leave him alone. Go.
01:09:41Go!
01:09:42Go with him, Rita.
01:09:44I'm not going.
01:09:45Is George going with him?
01:09:47No, he's staying.
01:09:48He'll be here soon, I promise.
01:09:51Do you suppose you could say a prayer for an old man?
01:09:54Who, me?
01:09:58I'm not a missionary.
01:10:00Yes, I've known.
01:10:02But there are words in that book you carried.
01:10:05Whether he be a sinner, I know not.
01:10:08But this I do know.
01:10:10I was blind.
01:10:12Now I see.
01:10:14Help me.
01:10:16Help me find my way.
01:10:45Help me.
01:10:48Go.
01:11:02Get down!
01:11:24Stop!
01:11:26Stop all this!
01:11:29The son of our high priest has been stabbed.
01:11:32All the women go to their homes.
01:11:34The men to their spears.
01:12:13We bring your son home, Michael.
01:12:26George.
01:12:29You will not move from this room.
01:12:48Look out.
01:12:51Look out!
01:12:52Come on, come on, come on!
01:13:26Up anchor, fast.
01:13:27Give me a hand with the anchor, Rocker.
01:13:28No time for that. Clear the lines.
01:13:31Break out the guns.
01:13:33Jump to it. Here comes trouble.
01:13:39What about Dan and Rita?
01:13:40Don't mind about them. I've got the pearls.
01:13:42We must throw it three ways.
01:14:00Start shooting. Head them off. Aye, aye, sir.
01:14:26Come on.
01:14:41Drive them back to the beach.
01:14:55Come on.
01:15:05Robert, are you crazy?
01:15:07You're going back. The pearls are going with you.
01:15:10They're going to let them take this island, Rita.
01:15:12Go on, get forward.
01:15:13Danny, they've spent the pearls between us.
01:15:15Just you and I. You're going back to the island.
01:15:23Come on.
01:15:31Get to the forward hatch.
01:15:34Children, shoot!
01:16:03Go on!
01:16:04Go on!
01:16:10Get back!
01:16:11Go on!
01:16:12Get ready too.
01:16:13You're the king.
01:16:15We'll get back!
01:16:16Let's go on!
01:16:18Go on!
01:16:20All right, that's great!
01:16:25Come on, come on.
01:16:53Come on.
01:17:18Come on.
01:17:34Come on.
01:17:40Come on.
01:17:41The ship went down under the sea.
01:17:43Dan.
01:17:44Come on.
01:17:45And the white men with it.
01:17:47You come.
01:17:48Come on.
01:17:50Come on.
01:17:52Come on.
01:17:54Come on.
01:17:56Come on.
01:17:58Come on.
01:18:23Come on.
01:18:28Come on.
01:18:51Come on.
01:18:53Come on.
01:18:55Come on.
01:18:57Come on.
01:19:01Come on.
01:19:01Come on.
01:19:03Come on.
01:19:17Come on.
01:19:38Come on.
01:19:41Come on.
01:19:45Come on.
01:19:47Come on.
01:19:47Come on.
01:19:48Come on.
01:19:50Come on.
01:19:50Come on.
01:19:53Come on.
01:19:56Come on.
01:19:56Come on.
01:19:58Come on.
01:19:58Come on.
01:20:02Come on.
01:20:10Come on.
01:20:23Come on.
01:20:26Come on.
01:20:30Come on.
01:20:32Come on.
01:20:39Come on.
01:20:41Come on.
01:21:00Tagaloa has decreed that these two shall live.
01:21:04And the others were lost.
01:21:06The one who stabbed your son is dead.
01:21:07Laka decrees sacrifice.
01:21:09Did the god Laka give me the power to speak again and walk?
01:21:13Hear me and obey.
01:21:15My son will live.
01:21:17Peace and happiness will return again to the island.
01:21:20Let me stay and help you, Twan Michael.
01:21:23Yeah, and about tomorrow when the next ship passes?
01:21:25It'll be just another day.
01:21:27Another ship.
01:21:29Then let them stay.
01:21:32And our people shall be their people.
01:21:34And our home their home.
01:21:37Go in peace.
01:21:38Come, Halamano.
01:21:40We have a wedding to finish.
01:21:44You know, it's a funny thing.
01:21:47Even when I hated you, I loved you.
01:21:51You know something funnier?
01:21:52I'm gonna kiss a missionary.
01:22:20I'm gonna kiss a missionary.
01:22:22You're gonna kiss me.
01:22:22Great job.
01:22:22Bye.
01:22:22Bye.
01:22:22Away, Weil and the Sea.
01:22:22Bye, brother, myおсь.
01:22:23Bye, bye.
