  • does anyone know where i can get this same version on cd? hope you can help

  • Wish we could help - maybe the Island Gods will hear.

  • I was in this movie. I am third from the right in front row waving on the beach. Back in 1963 were paid 12 bucks for the whole day. The following year I married a British sailor who was serving on the Royal Yacht Britannia. Been living in England for over 45 years now. Of course i look a teeny weeny bit older now but can still wave like a professional if hollywood needs me.

  • Delightful!! John Ford's producers stole a lot of hearts with the 12 dollars used to steal you. Let everyone focus, describe the pareo (sarong) you are wearing (in the movie..ha ha)?

  • THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!! I saw Donavan's Reef with my father when I was just a young girl, and this brings back so many memories. I have never forgotten this amazing music after all these years....It is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes.

  • Thanks so much. You are not alone in this feeling for in researching this we found numerous pleas for information on this recording. Though the song has been twisted in many forms and versions, this recording and here restored to the most complete and fidelic version known to exist (with great thanks to departed Hollywood pioneer and friend Linwood Dunn), strikes an internal tuning fork in many. Tuned in unison...all are we. Let's see how many tune in and find what they seek.

  • I could watch this film over and over again, for the swashbuckling love hate relationship between John Wayne and Lee Marvin, and for all of those beautiful dancers, and finally for Burl Ives "Pearly Shells" brilliant!
