Directed by John Ford, written by Edmund Beloin, Frank S. Nugent and James Edward Grant, produced by John Ford.
Average viewer score of 6.2/10 from 164 ratings.
Sunny, breezy and flipping delightful. You hear the names John Ford and John Wayne and one automatically thinks of Westerns, sprawling landscapes and machismo in bunches. Odd then that their last collaboration should be a knock about comedy set on a paradise isle. Perhaps even odder is that it should turn out to be one of their most entertaining films. Donovan's Reef finds the two Johns in very relaxed mood, as is…
