A hurricane hits Polynesia.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Early disaster movie, and still quite an impressive one. The model shots look very obvious to the modern eye, but suspend your disbelief and this remains enjoyable hokum. The beautiful cinematography is by Bert Glennon. Alfred Newman’s score won an Oscar.
