Hurricane 1979
Hurricane Woof! Forbidden Paradise 1979 (PG)
And the wind cried, “turkey.” Ro bards is the governor of a tropical island beset with environmental and personal concerns. Virginal daughter Farrow falls for hunky native, standard colonial power/ indigenous people complications ensue, vital explanatory footage is cut, and over acting reaches epidemic heights. Then too late the big wind blows in, leveling the place. Expensive (most of the $22 million must have gone to catering) and essentially misdirected remake of the 1937 semi-classic. 120m/C VHS . Mia Farrow, Jason Robards Jr., Trevor Howard, Max von Sydow, Timothy Bottoms, James Keach; D: Jan Troell; C: Sven Nykvist; M: Nino Rota.
