Synopsis: The son of the couple from 'The Blue Lagoon' is rescued by a ship after his parents die. A series of events takes him back to the island where he was born, along with a baby girl and her mother.
Appraisal: There are two main problems with this film: (1) the core of the plot is too similar to 'The Blue Lagoon'; (2) the rest of the plot is flimsy and unimaginative. The case against civilization is poorly made, having a greedy pirate and a love rival as its only pieces of evidence. As a consequence of that -- and of another fact that can hardly be missed -- the ending comes off as rather unconvincing. All that being said, I must be fair and say that the film is well photographed and well filmed -- every shot seems just about perfect, not only in an aesthetical sense, but also in a functional one. P.S.: Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
