VHS : Island of the Blue Dolphins
This is the story of Karana, a young Indian girl raised on an island off the coast of California. Supposedly it is based on a true story, and it tells of how she survived on her native island after all of her people were removed and her younger brother was killed. The reader never knows why Karana's people were removed from the island, which would have helped me understand the story a bit better.

While Scott O'Dell is a good storyteller, there are some gaps that I wished he had explained better. For instance, when the Aleuts first came to the island when Karana's father was still living, there seems to be no gap in communications. Somehow the Aleuts can communicate with the natives. When the white men come and cart off Karana's people there again is no communication gap. ... Read More

VHS : Pagan Love Song
Esther Williams stars in this silly South Pacific love story, filmed largely on the Hawaiian island of Kauai (although the story is supposed to be set in Tahiti...) Her love interest is the schmaltzy show tune crooner Howard Keel, playing a lazy American who inherits an abandoned coconut farm, and after making it out to the island picks up a yen for the half-Tahitian hottie played by Williams. She tames him, he mellows out, learns to like small children and to kick back into Tahitian time, just like the locals. Musically, the Harry Warren compositions are not, admittedly, among his best work, although there is a dazzling Tahitian dance number, staged in a Busby Berkeley-like fashion, and if you know Kauai at all, the improbable cutaways from one beach to the next are pretty hilarious. Not the ... Read More

"What is courage? What is cowardice?"

Those are the questions posed in this impressive, intelligent western, set against the backdrop of the 1916 war against Pancho Villa.

Gary Cooper stars as a career Army officer, branded a coward, who is given the task of leading five Medal of Honor candidates to the military base at Cordura, Texas. His hope is to learn what prompted these men to act heroically under fire when he could not. Accompanying the group is Rita Hayworth, an American expatriate accused of aiding the Mexicans.
