Title: Hawaii, the Destruction of An Epic
Product review: The complete uncut original version of this film is one of my favorites as it was for my late mother. I feel it was one of the greatest film epics Hollywood had produced. The acting was superb. Max Von Sydow is my favorite actor. Julie Andrews was magnificent as well as a little known actress named Jocelyn Lagarde who played the Ali Nui, in fact she was nominated for an academy award. I met Manu Tupou who played Keoki and thanked him for his excellent portrayal.The marriage of film music with the movie by the late Elmer Bernstein was film scoring at its finest. The cinematography was breath taking and the screenplay was witty and engaging. The story albeit a shorter adaption of the mamoth Michener epic novel was nonetheless very poignant. I have the full VHS version. This film was not too long in my book! Why did MGM butcher the DVD version? Is there a way that Amazon can press the powers that be for a complte version of a much maligned masterpiece on DVD?
