Question
There was an old movie that I vaguely remember from childhood.  It seems I remember the setting being a tropical island.  The only character from the movie that I even vaguely remember was called Morgantani (phonetic sp.)  I'd love to find out the name of that movie though I only remember the barest of details from the movie.

Answer
Hi Spencer,

I think that the movie you're looking for may be the 1953 United Artist's film,  "Return To Paradise" starring Gary Cooper.

If you go to the following TCM site, and click on "Read Full Synopsis" ( in the center of the page), you can read the full story to see if it sounds like your film:

The movie is available on VHS and DVD at :  www.amazon.com
