John Wayne's last film with mentor and long-time collaborator John Ford (The Searchers) is a 1963 comedy about a group of war veterans settled on a South Pacific island. When the daughter of one of them (Jack Warden) comes for a visit, the freewheeling status quo between the boys is disrupted. This is Ford in his chummy, amiable, roughhousing mode--think of Victor McLaglen's drunken fight scene in Ford's She Wore a Yellow Ribbon--and it is entirely pleasurable. Wayne is comfortable in his man's-man role, and Lee Marvin (who played Wayne's nemesis in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) is effectively roguish. --Tom Keogh
Product Description
Producer-director John Ford once again demonstrates his successful formula for rambunctious, combative comedy and romance in this action-packed John Wayne classic. Life on a South Pacific island for two ex-Navy buddies (John Wayne and Lee Marvin) is just about perfect - they spend most of their time on Donovan's Reef, the local saloon where they brawl and feud and somehow manage to stave off the sameness of tropical living. Then, into this mayhem arrives Elizabeth Allen, a straight-laced Bostonian in search of her father,

I've enjoyed this movie for years. When I saw the price I could buy it for from Amazon I just couldn't resist. This is a great movie and I purchased it at a great price.

One of John Wayne's Best Movies April 9, 2009
Kevin Percival
This is one of the Duke's best movies. It shows more acting ability than the traditional one-role actor he was made to perform. With a great supporting cast, this movie has the best of everything. It has the adventure, romance and tradition that only the best movies offer.

The most fun movie John Wayne ever made. Amazing landscape shots of Hawaiian islands. This movie technically qualifies as a Christmas movie. Story line begins on the 7th of December and ends at Christmas. Part romantic comedy this family fun film can be appreciated by all ages. Play drinking game using character names and action shots (fights, breaking bottles, etc.).
