Return to Paradise
A drifting wanderer arrives on a South Seas island ruled by a rigid, puritanical missionary, and his defiance of the strict order — and love for a local woman — changes the community forever. A South Pacific adventure drama starring Gary Cooper.
Why it’s here
An American feature whose story of colonial authority, resistance, family, and return is sustained by its Samoan island community.
