Bird of Paradise (1932)

Very good CD.

This is one of the earliest sound films of our Mexican Diva, Dolores del Río, performed in USA. The story and the photography are so good. This is a treasure for all Del Rio's fans. Don't miss it ! September 12, 2008

If you are a b&w movie buff, you will love this. Filmed in Hawaii on the big island, near Kalapana and Keaau, there are beautiful beach scenes. I can't imagine not enjoying it. August 29, 2008

Cinematography is the star of this film

Despite Del Rio's energetic and charming performance, this film belongs to the Oscar-winning (White Shadows In The South Seas, 1928)cinematographer. A majority of sequences occur at night and the lighting is exceptional in bringing out the beauty of the faces and bodies, especially the nude underwater swimming sequence near the beginning. Most memorable scene is the kiss farewell where Del Rio crushes bites of fruit so that the nectar can run into her delirious lover's mouth - poignant, tragic and unforgettable. December 4, 2007

Bird of Paradise - Which Version

Has Amazon ever cleared up the confusion regarding the version of this movie. The jacket shows the original 1932 version but the cast is from the 1951 remake. August 22, 2006

The information for the DVD shown is NOT CORRECT!!

I hope that Amazon will clear up the information listed for this DVD. They list the cast of the remake from the 50's, they have the aspect ratio as widescreen. Which verson of the film is being offered here?? Please clear this up so that those that order will not be disapointed. I am not even sure that the widescreen verson from the 50's is even available on DVD. August 14, 2006
