Cast: Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, Charlton Heston, Gloria Grahame, James Stewart, Henry Wilcoxon, Lyle Bettger, John Ridgely, Edmond O'Brien, Dorothy Lamour, Lawrence Tierney, John Kellogg

Other tales involve Charlton Heston and Betty Hutton, whose egos must be overcome to attain love. Look for Bing Crosby and Bob Hope as spectators in the grandstand. The film was also won an Academy Award for Best Writing and was nominated for three others, including Best Director.

This disappointing sequel to "Hawaii" is also based on James Michener's novel, but it pales in comparison to the entertaining original film. This film's story picks up where the original left off and continues into contemporary times. 1 User Review
