Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Fire Bride is a 1922 American silent adventure film directed by Arthur Rosson and starring Ruth Renick, Edward Hearn and Walt Whitman. The film's working title was The Lagoon of Desire. It was based on the 1921 novel The Lagoon of Desire by William Fisher Alder. Alder formed the Far East Productions Company with his producing partner, S. M. Unander, in order to make films in far-flung locations. The Fire Bride was filmed over several months in Tahiti and Mo'orea in French Polynesia and featured many scenes "in which real natives are seen in war-like dances and other ceremonial expositions". The film was reportedly the first movie to be shot in the Pacific Islands. Lead actress Ruth Renick later wrote an account of her time in Tahiti which was published in the March 1922 edition of Photoplay magazine. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
