Rhythm of the Islands

1943 · 60 min

A breezy, silly island romp full of songs and slapstick, easy to watch and forgotten soon after.

Tagline
Laughs and Sweet Leilanis... Heart-teasing Songs... Eye-pleasing Sarongs!
Overview
Rhythm of the Islands is set in the South Seas, presumably far away from the shooting war. The nonsensical plotline finds hero Tommy (Allan Jones) posing as a native chief. Joan Holton (Jane Frazee), daughter of a millionaire (Ernest Truex), falls in love with Tommy, unaware that he's a charlatan.
