(1928) Monte Blue, Raquel Torres, Robert Anderson, Renee Bush. This silent classic was a big, epic production in its day, with lots of great location shots in the South Seas (an Oscar for Cinematography). Blue gives a grand portrayal of a drunken doctor who has the reputation of a “white god” on a Polynesian isle. He and his native friends soon find themselves up against unscrupulous traders from the outer world. Synchronized music and effects. A wonderful film. From 35mm.
