I enjoyed this film, basically because I got to hear its three stars talk for the first time. I had only seen their silent pictures, so this was a treat. Kenneth Harlan sings two choruses in this film, and Marceline Day had the most gorgeous voice; why wasn't she used more in talkies? Gladden James sounded just like I thought he would.
The plot is predictable: cultured girl comes to a south sea island to marry her fiancee, but he has become a drunk, so she falls for a local sailor who rescues her from the hard life on the island. But it has some funny bits and some nice romantic chemistry between Ken and Marceline, so definitely not a waste of time. Too short though; they could have filled out the plot more.
