Island in the Sun (Full)

[@chrisbean]

Joan Collins was only 24 y/o in this amazing movie! 😍 Dorothy Dandridge is one of the most beautiful and talented women in the history of cinematography.

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Love this film, if not the theme of prejudice. Impressed by Belafonte, James Mason, Dorothy Dandridge, Joan Collins, Joan Fontaine, Stephen Boyd, and Patricia Owens (Sayonara & The Fly being her other films) in their performances. Great scenes that were captured during filming of the movie. One of those pictures one doesn't mind seeing repeatedly. Thank you for posting it.

It is why Harry Belafonte today at 93 knows that there is much work to be done. We thought progress had been made. His friend Dr. King worked hard to help men look equally at one another.

Just learned (moments ago) that the featured 'Belfontaine Mansion' is in Barbados in the now Farley Hill National Park. This mansion is now derelict and in serious disrepair.

I'm now watching it for the first time - I had heard that the Farley Hill property featured prominently in this movie many years ago but never got a chance to see it. Based on the scenery it looks like they filmed it on more than one island. Interestingly there was a story about the ruins of the Farley Hill Great House in today's newspaper!

[@LillianSteele-u9v]

It needs to be repaired and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. My dad's old school JC Price HS in Salisbury is on this register as of three years ago. JC Price was African-American and the first President of Livingstone College. And the origonal JC Price HS which was a daycare/kindergarden school where I did my student teaching many years ago and is located not too far from Livingstone College in Salisbury,NC is being restored and is also on the register as well. The Belafonte family should did this.

BELAFONTE was also dynamic in the 1957 movie THE WORLD,THE FLESH ,AND THE DEVIL. In this movie, he played a powerful black man in his country - who knew a powerful white woman there ,but they broke up because they knew their mixed marriage wouldn't work in public.

I have spent a lot of time in the islands. My gf and her family are from Jamaica. This is a caricature of what white boys from California thought was the island lifestyle back in the 1950s.

[@Dragonrdh]

It really was in the 50s; my parents were from Barbados, and Mum was a nanny for planter's families. They had cooks, maids, nannies and gardeners. There were fees for secondary education beyond grade 8. The planter's ladies didn't do much, and changed for dinner each evening. That all changed in the 60s with politicians who represented the majority of the electorate, instead of the landowners.

Dorothy Dandridge is stunning and should have had a bigger role after the "Carmen Jones" 1954 blockbuster.

[@harpereion8702]

According to her in an interview which can be viewed on KZbin this is the role she wanted. She said she wanted her next film after Carmen Jones to be as far away from Carmen as possible. The elegant Margo Seaton is the complete opposite of Carmen. The storyline of Margo Seaton and Dennis Archer is one of many story lines in the film, but she did get star billing on the screen. It was starring James Mason Joan Fontaine Doroty Dandridge ETC. She was under contract to 20th Century Fox for star roles only, when she made this film.

I think because he didn't invite her to, she just took because as a wealthy privileged person that's her normal behaviour. He doesn't want her culturally appropriating and trivialising his traditions as playtime for the rich white folk. He's trying to educate her, not dress her up as a Caribbean doll. Of course, she meant well and is open to authentic culture, but his reaction shows how difficult integration is when one side is much wealthier and more powerful than the other.

IT"s just a movie a work of fiction written by screenwriter Alfred Hayes based on the 538-page novel by Alec Waugh. It's not all these people at Fox. It's one person. Darryl F. Zanuck was the president of the studio at the time and producer of the film. Scripts are sent to the actors. The actors read the scripts. If they like the script they accept the role. In the case of Doroty Dandridge [who was under contract to 20th century] she said she wanted her next film after "Carmen Jones" to be as far away from Carmen as possible. She got exactly what she wanted. The very elegant Margo Season is the complete opposite of Carmen. She said this in an interview which can be seen on KZbin.
