Donovan's Reef is a comedy starring John
Wayne that was originally released in 1963 and directed by John Ford.
John Wayne plays a retired Navy man named Michael who lives a relatively
quiet life on an island in the Pacific. He lives in company with his
friends, also former Navy men, who are accustomed to spending their days
in the bar drinking beer and getting into brawls or scraps
unnecessarily. Michael owns the bar and therefore is the appointed
ringleader of the group, although he is known to contribute to things
getting out of hand. At a given point during Donovan’s Reef, one of
Michael's friend's daughters comes into town and he begins to fall in
love. Michael decides he wants to leave his brawling days behind and
continues to pursue his direct interest. The DVD version of Donovan’s
Reef became available on DVD in 2011. The comedy DVD is available for
viewing in widescreen and standard and has been remastered for optimal
viewing.
