...Wearing only the latest fashions, using only the proper fork, amusing with only the most charming witticisms, they gave the best of Paris and London the pleasure of their company. To all appearances, the dandy of 18th and 19th century cities seemed to exist for others only, for the sake of appearances alone.

Either it's for old times' sake, or his small role as a refugee-running boat captain is a remnant of the action-on-the-high-seas melodrama that this movie might have been. If the film makers did consciously reject such material in order to concentrate on the gentler, familial themes of Islands, they made a worthy choice. The pity is that they lacked the artistic energy to bring...
