Swedish director Jan Troell, who replaced the exiled Roman Polanskl before shooting began, has genuine feel uviUNtmnjrr for the epic form, but hasn't been given enough substance to sustain the Mm i vast scope. The Farrow-Ki Ne cross cultural idyll, although sensitively depicted, is familiar by now as are the follies at hypocrisies of Yankee 1 Imperialism.

His Incestuous feelings for Miss Farrow are subtly suggested as is self-knowledge, but he lacks the vulnerability to make us care about him.

Sven Nykvist's eloquent cinematography of awesomely beautiful South Seas locales, the late Nino Rota's splendidly evocative score and a spectacular finish that gives the film its title. Derived from the Charles Nordhoff -James Norman Hall novel-John Ford's 1937 version, incidentally, stuck closer to the source "Hurricane" has wisely been treated as a period piece by writer-executive producer Lorenzo Semple Jr.

Set in the '20s, it opens with Miss Farrow's arrival at Pago Pago to visit her father, Jason Robards, a U.S. naval captain serving as governor of the Eastern Samoan island. From the moment she steps off the boat in the early evening as strains of jazz intermingle with the sound of falling rain we enter with her into an exotic tropical paradise that is, however, being menaced by Robards, symbolizing the paternalistic evils of colonialism. Trouble starts when his handsome clerk (Dayton Ka'Ne), whom he regards as "almost a son," returns to his native island to succeed his late father as high chief.
