Review on 🌺 Hawaiian Julie Andrews by Peter Joseph

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Watch again (or for the first time)

One of my favorite movies of the last 4 decades! I love Michener's historical novels and Hawaii is a good adaptation of his work. All actors are great. This is Julie Andrews when she was young and gorgeous, alongside the dashing Richard Harris as a rebellious whaler pining for the woman he lost. Swede Max von Sydow is the perfect embodiment of a well-meaning but often argumentative religious fanatic. "Hawaii" was filmed on two Hawaiian islands, so picturesque splendor fills your senses. I'm not sure if many people know this, but Andrews once owned a ranch on the Big Island, so she must have been on the islands as well. The film has been re-tinted - good for preservation. But on the other hand, it is difficult to spoil the colors of these wonderful islands. A must for anyone who loves romance, adventure and nature. I'm glad I have it now.
