A vintage movie poster of ''The Pagan'', a 1929 American silent film directed by W.S. Van Dyke. The film stars Ramon Novarro in the lead role and features Renée Adorée and Donald Crisp in supporting roles. "The Pagan" is a romantic drama set in a tropical island setting.
The story revolves around Tito, played by Ramon Novarro, a half-caste native living on a remote island in the South Pacific. Tito is a carefree and adventurous young man who enjoys the island's natural beauty and the company of the islanders. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he rescues a beautiful French woman named Madelon, portrayed by Renée Adorée, who has been shipwrecked on the island.
Tito and Madelon fall in love, but their happiness is threatened by the arrival of a missionary, Mr. Thompson, played by Donald Crisp, who is determined to convert the islanders to Christianity and change their way of life. The film explores themes of love, cultural clash, and the clash between tradition and modernity.
"The Pagan" is notable for its exotic and lush island setting, which serves as a backdrop for the romance between Tito and Madelon. Ramon Novarro's charismatic performance as Tito earned him praise, and the chemistry between Novarro and Renée Adorée is a highlight of the film.
While "The Pagan" is a silent film, it was released during the transitional period when sound films were emerging, and it includes synchronized sound effects and a synchronized music score.
"The Pagan" was a commercial success upon its release and is remembered for its romantic and adventurous storyline, as well as its depiction of the South Pacific island culture. It remains a notable film in the career of Ramon Novarro and is considered a classic of silent cinema.
