Michener. Charlton Heston is top-billed as a sailor who returns to his Hawaiian homestead, only to learn that his grandfather's fortune has been bestowed upon his hated cousin Alec McCowan. As a reprisal, Heston sets up his own pineapple plantation in competition with his cousin. Heston's son John Phillip Law falls in love with the daughter (Virginia Ann Lee) of a Chinese farmer (Mako). The issue of miscegenation rears its ugly head, but by the end of this very long film Heston's family is united by marriage to the Chinese clan. The British title of The Hawaiians was Master of the Islands.

Rating: - Why is this not on Region 1 DVD?
I remember seeing this film when it was released nearly 40 years ago. Fine performances by Charlton Heston as Whip Hale ("I pity the pious, they can be bastards and never even know it."), Tina Chen and Mako. An interesting chapter in the history of the Hawaiian islands -- the introduction of the pineapple, workers from China and Japan. Well worth viewing -- if you could!
Rating: - I want to see this movie again - In English!
I, too, am irritated that the only available copies of "The Hawaiians" are in the Spanish format and can't be played on American machines. I remember seeing this back in the 1970s and loving it.

They are played (wonderfully) by Tina Chen and a very young Mako. They eventually marry and have five sons. When Mako's character ... Read More
Rating:  - The Hawaiians
This is the sequel to the movie Hawaii with Julie Andrews. I saw this just last year on T.V. and it' a movie about the eldest Hale son who comes back to Hawaii after attending college where his grandparents lived. He deals with the Chinese workers and their culture, and becomes one of the first pineapple growers there. This is a good movie about he early lepers, and how they were dumped on Molokai, and left until their dying days there. It's too bad they don't make this for the real Hawaiians to see, ... Read More
Rating: - The Whip Hand
Isn't it crazy how you can only get this film on DVD from Spain, and with a Region 2 ratio slapped on it so that unless you've got a multi-region player you won't be able to view any of THE HAWAIIANS? Well boys and girls, remember, this is the sequel to HAWAII, and you'll recall the trouble we had seeing that one in proper form for so many years, and if truth be told the correct roadshow version is still out of print, and the version on DVD is still the same old cut print pretty much, spruced up a little ...
