Description :
Swimming superstar Esther Williams plays an American vacationing in Tahiti, and celebrity baritone Howard Keel stars as the clueless American who mistakes her as an island native, falls in love with her and woos her with the Pagan Love Song. When Ohio schoolteacher Hazard Endicott (Keel--Kiss Me Kate, "Dallas") moves to Tahiti to live on an island plantation he has inherited, he soon realizes that he loves Mimi Bennett (Williams--Million Dollar Mermaid, Dangerous When Wet)... and that he has no idea how to farm the land he owns. Somehow, during tropical-island water ballets and love songs crooned by Endicott, and with the help of islanders Tavae (Charles Mauu--Road to Bali) and Terru (Academy Award winner Rita Moreno--West Side Story, "Oz"), both the plantation and love blossom in this musical romance.
