THE BLUE LAGOON

 The lush beauty and splendor of a South Pacific paradise is vividly captured in this version of Henry DeVere Stacpoole's 1903 novel. Two small children and a ship's cook survive a shipwreck and find safety on an idyllic tropical island.

This 1980 sappy tear-jerker should be seen with a female that you're either trying to impress or someone you're already involved with. I thought the original was okay. Plenty of beautiful scenic shots and decent job of acting by the two teens(that were ship wrecked years earlier)that are in love.Richard(Chistopher Atkins)and Emmeline(Brook Shields)experience a life together that is nearly impossible in the real world. Some nice nude scenes from(what I assume)to be a stand in for Shields.

The sequel 'Return To...' (1991)... I thought was a complete waste of time and trouble. Didn't even come close to standing up to the first film. The upside is that it comes with the original,anyway.
