A stilted, plodding adventure in which a bomber crew washes up on a Pacific island inhabited by a tribe of primitive but fashion-savvy women. The women dance and pose like '50s swimsuit models (which they probably were), and speaketh English in words not heard in everyday speech since the 17th century. Shakespeare it ain't, and the flyboys sport some of the worst-looking ten-day-old beards ever, but at least the untamed women are cute.
