"I didn’t think I was in total sympathy with [Jerusha]. She left her home, turned away from the man she really loved to stay with a husband she didn’t love to suffer the hardships and deprivations of a missionary’s wife on an untamed island. I don’t think I would have done that."

Julie Andrews

Hawaii

Abner Hale, a rigid and humorless New England missionary, marries the beautiful Jerusha Bromley and takes her to the exotic island kingdom of Hawaii, intent on converting the natives. But the clash between the two cultures is too great and instead of understanding there comes tragedy.
