Just back from a visit to Kauai in Hawaii. Went to several Donovan's Reef filming sites, including the attached Pic from Hanamaulu Bay - could just picture Gilhooley swimming up the bay and arriving on the beach.

I have always liked this movie and remember it well from late 60's and early 70's on TV. Ever since it has been available on both VHS Tape & DVD I have acquired a copy of each release to see which print they have used. Alas, they are all the same and do not show the movie as it was originally released or at least as shown on earlier TV movies. I distinctly remember Ameilia (Elizabeth Allen) falling off the back of the Jeep twice during the movie but all the Tape & DVD release versions only show this once near the end of the movie - and it is evident that it did happen twice because John Wayne says to her after the fall, "Not again". a reference to the fact it had happened before. The movie has clearly been re-edited since its original release.
Does anyone know of a DVD release that shows the full movie or at least the two fall version?
