Outcast of the Islands
Even Her Love Was Primitive!
Directed by Carol Reed
Produced by London Films Productions, United Artists
A morally complex colonial-era drama about a disgraced man's exile and moral unraveling on a remote island, shadowed by imperialism and the consequences of his choices.
After financial improprieties are discovered at the Eastern trading company where he works, Peter Willems flees the resulting disgrace and criminal charges. He persuades the man who gave him his start in life, the merchant ship captain Lingard, to bring him to a trading post on a remote Indonesian island where he can hide out.
