About this movie

The lush beauty and splendor of a South Pacific paradise is vividly captured in this version of Henry DeVere Stacpoole's 1903 novel. Two small children and a ship's cook survive a shipwreck and find safety on an idyllic tropical island. Soon, however, the cook dies and the young boy and girl are left on their own. Days become years and Emmeline (Brooke Shields) and Richard (Christopher Atkins) make a home for themselves surrounded by exotic creatures and nature's beauty. They learn to cope withthe bewildering variety of physical changes that come with adolescence. And as they begin to mature, their childhood affections lead to a sensitive and more profound love and the birth of a child. But will they ever see civilization again?

I love this coming of age movie, but I'm fed up with Google and their high prices on older movies. Its only because they know those are the ones people want and it bites. One more thing about the movie I wish we could know what happened to Emeline, Richard and Paddy after they returned to San Francisco? Did they stay together, did Richard's dad separate them because he knew what they had done was wrong? Did they all run away and try too go back to paradise? Just want to know, guess I should read the book
