John Wayne and James Arness are FBI men chasing Communists in Hawaii. The Duke falls in love with Nancy Olson along the way. Although this is in b/w, the beauty of our 50th state is still evident. The action takes place on the island of Oahu. I'd say one of the Duke's better ones.

This is not one of the best acted movies BUT it is an important movie. The communist scare IS STILL REAL; especially today! I was a little kid the first time I saw it & it is funny how this movie has stayed with me for 55 years. I still like it!

I have always viewed this as an iconic movie. It largely a forgotten piece, but in reality both records in Russia (excuse me - fmr Soviet Union)and in America have shown that the Communists and their sympathizers were very active, if not ineffectual. Ineffectual does not make them a Non-Threat.
Now to the movie - it is a movie, so reality is stretched. But it is John Wayne and a fine story. I found it entertaining, fun and moved along nicely.
As for those that are Anti-everything (America & John Wayne, etc, etc.) take a chill pill. Most of us do not care about your petty thoughts, concerns and tirades.

As one of John Wayne earlier movies I found it very slow moving a long.
