Description
"Bird of Paradise" is a 1932 American pre-Code adventure film directed by King Vidor and produced by David O. Selznick. The film is notable for its exotic and romantic themes, set against the lush backdrop of the South Pacific islands. It stars Joel McCrea as Johnny Baker, a young American adventurer who becomes stranded on a remote tropical island, and Dolores del Río as Luana, a beautiful native woman who captures his heart.
The plot of the film revolves around the forbidden love between Johnny and Luana. Johnny's arrival on the island disrupts the peaceful life of the native tribe, and his growing affection for Luana leads to cultural clashes and challenges as they try to navigate their feelings for each other. The film explores themes of love, cultural differences, and the clash between Western civilization and the traditional way of life on the island.
"Bird of Paradise" is known for its stunning cinematography, showcasing the natural beauty of the South Pacific locations, as well as for its portrayal of a passionate and forbidden romance. The film was considered quite daring for its time due to its portrayal of an interracial love story, which was a taboo subject in early Hollywood cinema.
Despite its controversial themes, "Bird of Paradise" received critical acclaim and was successful at the box office. It has since become a classic in the adventure and romance genres and is remembered for its lush visuals and the chemistry between the lead actors, Joel McCrea and Dolores del Río.
