Directed by John Blystone
Fleeing a violent lover and a scandalous past, Singapore-based saloon singer “Kiddo” (Peggy Shannon) winds up on a remote tropical island and realizes the first possibility of true love with ex-marine “Tom” (Tracy), now the owner of a small pearl diving operation. Together they face down Kiddo’s fears and brave the future. Tracy’s breezy reading of this role is refreshingly buoyant and spontaneous.
