About Paul Rabe
Expertise
I have seen ALMOST every film with an appearance by The Duke, made since 1940, and a couple dozen of those before then. If it's a film with him, I've most likely seen it, have an opinion on it, and can try to answer questions about it.

Experience
I saw my first film where Wayne makes an appearance almost fifty years ago. Since then, I have seen 102 films where he makes an appearance.

Education/Credentials
Master of Arts, University of Texas

Wayne, John - Wayne, in Hawaii, meets Princess Leilani


Expert: Paul Rabe - 12/16/2008

Question
Hi can anyone help I saw a movie where john wayne was in hawaii and there was a young princess called leilani, I named my daughter after her but cannot remember which movie it was

Answer
The film you are thinking of is PROBABLY _Donovan's Reef_, in which characters played by Wayne and Lee Marvin enjoy being drunken sailors on a South Pacific island. There is a character named "Lelani Dedham" in the film, but she seems to play a minor part.

Wayne characters also went to the the Pacific in films such as _Wake of the Red Witch_, _Operation Pacific_, _Flying Leathernecks_, _They Were Expendable_, and _The Barbarian and the Geisha_. However, none of these filsm had a character with a name even remotely like Lelani.
