When a group of American sailors, led by Johnny Baker (Joel McCrea), arrive on a tropical Polynesian island, they’re captivated by its natural beauty and the warmth of its people. Johnny soon falls deeply in love with Luana (Dolores del Rio), the stunning daughter of the island’s chief. Their passionate romance blossoms quickly, but they soon face the harsh realities of their cultural differences.

As Johnny and Luana’s relationship deepens, they must navigate the complexities of island traditions, including the looming threat of human sacrifice to appease an angry volcano god. Their love is tested against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery, native rituals, and the clash between modern Western values and ancient island customs.

Bird of Paradise pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in early 1930s cinema. The film features several scenes of Dolores del Rio swimming nude (tastefully obscured), which caused a sensation upon its release. Del Rio’s portrayal of Luana is both sensual and innocent, capturing the essence of an island princess torn between duty and desire.

Joel McCrea’s performance as Johnny showcases his rugged charm and establishes him as a leading man in Hollywood. The chemistry between Del Rio and McCrea sizzles on screen, creating a palpable sense of forbidden romance that still resonates today.
