The Romance of Hine-moa (1927)

Directors

Gustav Pauli

The story

The plot is the traditional story of the love of Hinemoa and Tutanekai from rival tribes. Pauli's version shifts the emphasis from Hinemoa's swim across the lake to meet her lover to Tutanekai's ordeal going through the Valley of Fire, the crater of an active volcano. Released in 1927, but New Zealand Prime Minister Gordon Coates attended a special showing by Gaumont in England on 16 December 1926.
