South of Pago Pago - FULL MOVIE - Frances Farmer, Victor McLaglen - Somewhat Rare Film - 1940 Adventure Classic - LINKS

Some of Frances Farmer's films are a bit rare. At least they are not all easy to purchase, etc.. Thought I would put this up for viewers and Frances Farmer fans. The production on this film was temporarily postponed due to World War Two. Some folks pronounce it "Panga Panga", etc., or thereabouts.

: Frances Farmer's 10 Million Dollar Smile - Life is Full of
: 'Conditional' People
: Video Clip - Frances Farmer with Edward Arnold, Joel McCrea -
: Commentary

: If famous movie stars have million dollar smiles Frances
: Farmer had a ten million dollar smile! One of the basic
: assets of actors is, of course, the smile and accompanying
: facial expression. If it seems that Frances Farmer's smiles
: change from scene to scene you may be right. It appears
: that she learned to employ different shapes to her smile
: and just when you thought you had seen her big smile in a
: scene you may be astounded to see an even bigger one in
: another scene.

: She had mastered the ability to look very sincere in whatever
: emotion she was supposed to be displaying, whether truly
: happy or troubled or sad, etc..

: A beginning to her main troubled time in life was possibly
: when she went off to do Broadway, thus leaving Hollywood
: for what she probably considered temporarily. It seems the
: Hollywood bigwigs may not have taken kindly to that move
: and that is brought out in books about her life.

: Also, it appears that she was taken advantage of, financially,
: on several occasions because she trusted persons close to
: her. She actually was a sincere person who couldn't seem to
: find many others who returned her sincerity.

: You may ultimately find that life is full of conditional
: people. By this I mean there are many persons who may
: accept you if you are of some standard which they approve
: of. If you meet those standards you may be accepted and if
: not you may be rejected or even ostracized from society in
: general because of various power groups who have tremendous
: influence over the public.

: As you go through life the main part of your entire success
: may constantly hinge on whether you meet certain judgmental
: requirements of those you come in contact with. A film
: star's life is often exaggerated, misrepresented, and
: sometimes even falsified. Stories and rumors don't always
: hit the front page but can be quietly passed around from
: circle to circle.

: Frances Farmer's ordeals with church people started when she
: wrote the essay 'God Dies' which seems to be her exposure
: of what she felt was a Godless society. That trouble seemed
: to follow after her through life.

: This clip from 'Come and Get It' illustrates Barney Glasgow's
: (Edward Arnold) astonishment and regret at not having
: returned sooner to visit Lotta's family when he finally
: meets Lotta's look-alike daughter, also named Lotta (also
: played by Frances Farmer). He is so amazed he begins
: attempting to artificially construct another romance of the
: Lotta look-alike who is much younger.

: Do you ever think of old friends you valued and got on with
: very well, but left them behind in life simply because of
: geographics? Neither moving on to other places, nor
: conducting business should cause friends to be separated,
: but in today's world it often comes down to economics and
: what and when people can afford to go back and see
: wonderful old friends. These themes are represented here
: and can really tug at your heartstrings.

: Actor Walter Brennan plays an important role here as Swan
: Bostrom and adds a 'back home' effect telling Barney how
: Barney never came back before Lotta passed, etc..

: It's an amazing film in which Frances Farmer sang 'Aura Lee',
: and I don't find it available to put up here, but suggest
: you see it, complete with the comedic sailing trays bar
: fight.
