Donovan's Reef (12-Jun-1963)

Writers: Edmund Beloin; James Edward Grant; Frank Nugent

Keywords: Romantic Comedy

A high-society heiress from Boston travels to French Polynesia to meet a father she has never seen, to determine if he is "morally unfit" for the family inheritance; she encounters the likes of Guns Donovan and Boats Gilhooley, whose daily regime on the laid-back island seems to involve friendly barroom brawls. Light-hearted escapist romance, marking John Ford's final collaboration with John Wayne.
