Awesome, Gisele! In the days of the tall ships and colonial rule of the South Pacific, a naive native sailor working as first mate on an island hopping windjammer is unjustly jailed in Tahiti for striking a racist planter with government connections. His attempts to escape imprisonment and return

Yes indeed, it means hurricane in other slavic languages as well. I wonder what the other films were. Oksana At 04:55 PM 20/09/2011, you wrote: Sounds like John Ford's The Hurrican (Uragan means Hurrican in Czech).

Interesting about the film Hurricane (Uragan). In Primo Levi's memoir La Tregua (The Truce, also published as The Reawakening) he describes seeing this movie when he was in a Soviet transit camp in 1945. I wonder how many copies of it were going around the Soviet Union in the 1940s 1950s. -
