- Synopsis
- George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) directed this adaptation of James Michener's novel about the history of the 50th state. Max von Sydow plays a zealous missionary with a Calvinist bent, intent on enlightening the natives even as his wife (Julie Andrews) is romanced by the dashing Richard Harris. The film is both a glossy vision of Hawaii in the early 19th century and a sometimes-brutal drama full of death, a rough childbirth, stormy weather, etc. Hill's blunt editing, meant to emphasize the more terrifying aspects of the natural order of life, makes the film look particularly dated and mannered today. This is best appreciated for its cast, all of whom were making inroads in Hollywood at the time. --Tom Keogh (from amazon.com)

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Hill's direction, solid in the intimate dramatic scenes, is as good in crowd shots which rep the major external events."
-
"It cost more than $15 million, and every penny is on the screen."
-
"The conflict between nave dogma and nave innocence is effectively established, but the spectacle is always broader than it is deep."
