Saturday Island
DirectorStuart Heisler
“A South-Seas Shangri-La of romance and adventure beyond your wildest dreams!”
When their hospital ship sinks in the South Pacific during WWII, military nurse Elizabeth Smythe and Marine Michael Dugan find themselves stranded — and soon enough, falling in love — on an idyllic tropical island. But when British pilot William Peck crash-lands on their cozy little atoll, Dugan suddenly discovers he has a rival in love.
