Good start, but then it gets ruined

Expected more

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is definitely a good original film it is very good and is actually enjoyable but what I have a problem with is the relationship between Micheal and Emmeline. When their both kids their relationship is like a small friendship but when they're both older they rarely show romantic communication or oftenly don't exactly act like they like each other. I mean granted in some scenes Micheal does show that he cares about emmeline where she is nearly taken away by the men and when a big storm strikes the island. And with emmeline it's the same. What I also find annoying is The baby's relationship with his father. When he is born Micheal is happy and weirdly laughing ( I was a bit wierdes out by it ) But when he grows up to be a toddler. Micheal rarely shows love for him mostly talking about how the kids miserable and how he sounds mad when he says how having him it was confusing.Okay further all the movies good but the relationship between the main leads and the child eh.

This is a beautiful film about the realities of innocence, which isn't really so helpless as it seems, as it sees the world with different eyes and see through it in many ways more clearly than the most experienced ones. James Hayter and Cyril Cusack, on the other hand, are quite hopeless at the mercy of their own villainy, walking into their own traps like stupid fools, and yet they know about the world and are not even uneducated.It's a fascinating and almost great story of the glory of innocence and a clear parallel to Robinson Crusoe, only here the second is not Friday but Jean Simmons, or rather, Donald Houston is sometimes her Friday.The music adds to it, the scenery is fantastic, there is a lot of tenderness as well, and it is filmed with great sensitivity. I was never disappointed by a film from Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat.

I saw this film in 1955.It was marvelous!I am 73 year old now and I still remember this Movie.Releas this film again pleas.Jean Simmons has to be remembered with this great nice film. A great fan!I think that when the war was over in Europe we needed a film like the blue Lagoon to dream away in dreams.Blue sea white sand green palm trees.Love and tenderness.We needed it all.To overcome hunger and sadness.There must be something strange not to release this film while so many fans are waiting.I don't know the producer of this great film.I think there are fans who can give this information.I can't remember the music but I know that it was a beautyfull melody.Sorry if my English is not correct. Thank you a great FAN.

This movie appears to have been overlooked by everyone. Someone should bring it out on VHS and DVD. It is an excellent film and far superior to the one with Brooke Shields, which was terrible. Jean Simmons deserves more credit than she is getting now days. It would be nice if all her films were offered on VHS or DVD. Jean Simmons was, and still is, a very good actress. She certainly was a beauty. In fact, she is still a beauty. She also has done extremely well on T.V. She is so much better than many of the actors today.
