John Hall was 1/2 Tahitian
The commentator for this wonderful movie was incorrect about John Hall being the typical white man playing a native role. In point of fact, Hall was the son of a Tahitian Princess, and his dad was Scandinavian. So while he may have favored his dad's ethnicity, if you look closely, you can see some Pacific in his features. Either way you look at it, he was a strikingly handsome, well shaped man, for that day especially. He was perfectly cast. Great movie!!!!
