Description:Ohio schoolteacher Haz Endicott (Howard Keel) inherits a run-down plantation in Tahiti. He intends to relax in the sun and hires some native workers (including a very young Rita Moreno) to keep house for him. He meets half-Tahitian Mimi (Esther Williams) and they soon fall in love. There are also three children who randomly decide they want to live with him, which is weird. Haz soon runs out of money and has to harvest copra to live. His workers go to a party and leave it out in the rain, but while Haz is out ranting at them and breaking up with Mimi over it, the three kids carry all the copra under cover and save Haz. He and Mimi make up and get married.

Review - Pagan Love Song

There isn't one single second of this movie that isn't complete and total cheese. The songs are silly. Esther is pretty but can't act a lick. And those three kids ... just weird.
