- TriviaDouglas Fairbanks claimed to have "discovered" Maria Alba in the islands, even though Spanish actress Alba (real name Maria Casajuana) was signed by the Fox Film Corporation after winning a Fox Film contest in Spain in 1926. She then sailed to the United States in 1927 where she appeared in her first film five years before this movie was released.

Featured review
Sometimes simple is more and better.
This often-overlooked adventure comedy is really quite fun.The plot,which was evidently written by the star under a different name,has Douglas Fairbanks,on a yachting trip to the south seas with wealthy friends suddenly challenged on a wager to spend a year on a tropical island with nothing to aid him but a hunting knife.That is the plot.Simple and yet enough to launch Fairbanks on a "Robinson Crusoe-like" adventure as he cleverly and in acrobatic fashion hews out a comfortable existence for himself.Does he find a loyal companion?Yes and it is native girl Maria Alba whom he names Saturday.As their romance develops there are typical dangers to be faced; storms,hostile natives etc.Ably directed by longtime silent veteran Edward Sutherland this picture is a delight for Fairbanks fans and adventure buffs.
