Ive seen this movie several times, and each time, Im never bored ! I am fascinated.. its long yes, a bit sluggish, but the epic story and unusual locale (New Zealand) never fails to entrap me... MGM Gloss at its best.. well acted.. especially by characters actors, Van Heflin, Gladys Cooper,etc.. Donna Reed is perfect as Marguerite, Lana Turner is more than adequate as her sister Maryann.. but Lana's hair, never comes undone especially in the lengthy exciting earthquake sequence/ she still keeps her style & glamour, well thats MGM, and that was Lana!! Her doo finally comes undone during the Maori attack!! This is a good rainy day movie, you can sink your teeth into it... and enjoy.. enjoy the story the cast the sets & locale too bad not filmed in color...
