45 and never saw a better movie yet!!!!!, 12 April 2002
Author: yoshiyuki (manu3110u@aol.com) from honolulu hawaii

My family and i just loved this movie when we first saw it over 27 and a half yrs ago. we have not seen another one better. I too can not find this film anywhere.I have searched i don't know how many movie stores their is in hawaii and california and can't find it. The best part of all i love about his film is when kalua rubs her face against that red material in the end when andre is remebering her she looked beyond outstanding, absolutely ravishing, it's a shame they don't have it out on vhs or dvd by now what, on earth is the problem. I must say since that last time i saw that movie i was so glad i was with my family both parents and sisters and brothers if i were to watch it today i'd feel alittle empty because all my sisters and brothers are all over the world with families of their own and both my parents has passed, but i have children and grandchildren i'd love to watch this movie with, one great reason is because their is no violence,no nudity,no swearing,just a good clean home movie. so thank you for letting me express my comments and i hope to see that movie again before my time is over. I highly recommend this movie to anyone both young and old it's a movie you'll never forget............................. aloha
