Movie Reviews of His Majesty O'Keefe

Movie Review: His Majesty O'Keefe
Summary: 5 Stars

I Loved this movie when it was released in about 1954(It was a hit). At that time it did the circuit of the local cinemas. Thanks to the magic of DVD it was just great to see it again.

Summary of His Majesty O'Keefe

The adventures of an American sea captain stranded on Micronesia in the South Pacific, as he tries to become an entrepreneur.

Burt Lancaster spends a great deal of His Majesty O'Keefe without a shirt on, which might suggest the appeal of this 1954 South Seas yarn. Between the chest-barings, you can also detect the presence of a political parable about the innocent islanders of Yap and the overbearing colonialists looking to make a killing off them. The prize is coconut meat: rascally Lancaster wants to corner the market before the Germans can get their paws on it. There are grown-up elements to this story, including the somewhat worldly approach to Lancaster's island-based affairs with native women, and perhaps if you peer long enough into it you can see the remnants of the real story of the actual O'Keefe peeking out. But truth be told, this is a fairly pokey affair, enlivened by the splashy color photography and some Micronesian exoticism. You'd better love Lancaster's megawatt grin--and yes, the other stuff on display--because his bounding movie-star energy is the only thing keeping this one afloat. --Robert Horton
