The Hurricane

FILM SKOOL

Jon Hall and Dorothy Lamour battle the elements in John Ford’s South Seas disaster epic The Hurricane (1937).

Based on a novel by Nordoff and Hall, who also wrote Mutiny on the Bounty, it’s a Samuel Goldwyn production in which nothing was spared to recreate the lush Polynesian background and the devastation that occurs when this peaceful island finds itself in the path of a hurricane and colonization.

With a supporting cast that includes Mary Astor, Raymond Massey, Thomas Mitchell in an Oscar nominated supporting role and the wonderful C. Aubrey Smith as a priest who risks everything to save his congregation. It’s riveting entertainment and Hollywood spectacle at it’s best!  Steve Hayes
