Summary: Matthew Lloyd has drifted away from a respectable career as a physician, and lives a mediocre existence in a Polynesian island. There, pearl-trader Sebastian and his associates recklessly exploit the natives working for them as divers. After witnessing the appalling consequences of "civilization" on the local population, Matthew vehemently condemns Sebastian's greed and ruthlessness. Sebastian, however, will not shy away from any means to crush opposition to his activities. (imdb)

it's still in good shape, but in the twenty first century, it's just one more melodrama better left in the silent era.

Mightily impressive film about 'the white man' corrupting natives in the south pacific. There are a few things that are overdone but taking into account when it was made it's an impressive critique and a very well done film with pretty visuals.
