Legendary filmmaker John Ford (Stagecoach, The Quiet Man) and star John Wayne (Fort Apache, The Searchers ) team up for what would be their final collaboration in this boisterous, uproarious South Seas escapade! Life on a South Pacific island for two ex-Navy buddies (The Duke and Lee Marvin, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) is just about perfect—they spend most of their time in 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 a straitlaced Bostonian (Elizabeth Allen, Cheyenne Autumn) in search of her father. Jack Warden, Cesar Romero, Dick Foran and Dorothy Lamour add to the laughs—and pandemonium—in this tropical Technicolor treat!
