PAGAN LOVE SONG, 1950, Warner Bros., 76 min. Dir. Robert Alton. Half-American, half-Tahitian Mimi (Esther Williams) has lived all her life on the island and is bored with her idyllic lifestyle. Things change when Ohio-born schoolteacher Hap (Howard Keel) arrives to manage his uncle’s plantation, and the two fall in love. Much singing and Tahitian dancing follow, with some unusually gorgeous Technicolor setpieces with swimming superstar Williams, including an hallucinatory daydream where she swims through the clouds. DIAMOND HEAD, 1963, Sony Repertory, 107 min. Rich control freak Charlton Heston, a pineapple plantation owner and candidate for senator, doesn’t take it lying down when his independent younger sister (Yvette Mimieux) decides to marry her boyfriend, a local native (James Darren). What most don’t know is that Heston himself is in a relationship with a Eurasian woman (France Nuyen).
