His Majesty O'Keefe (DVD)

Burt Lancaster plays David O`Keefe, a daring American sea captain whose mutinous crew dumps him unceremoniously into the ocean. The trusty mariner manages to stay alive and lands ashore on a Polynesian island. The resourceful O`Keefe decides to make the best of his predicament by embarking on a career as a coconut oil trader. He employs the services of the Island`s natives, and goes native himself, taking a local woman as his wife. In order to make his fortune, however, O`Keefe must first battle hostile tribal chiefs who want to keep control of their island`s wealth. This was the first movie ever shot in the beautiful Fiji islands. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
