'''''Hawaii''''' is a [[1966 in film|1966]] [[United States|American]] [[motion picture|film]] based on the novel of the [[Hawaii (novel)|same name]] by [[James A. Michener]]. It tells the story of an 1820s [[Yale University]] [[divinity]] student (Max von Sydow) who, along with his new bride (Julie Andrews), becomes a [[Calvinism|Calvinist]] missionary in the [[Hawaiian Islands]].
The film was based on the book's third chapter ''From the Farm of Bitterness'', which covered the settlement of the island kingdom by its first American missionaries.
Needing a [[Polynesia]]n female for the key role of "Queen Alii Nui of Maui, Malama," the producers hired a native [[Tahiti]]an for the role. [[Jocelyne LaGarde]] had never acted before and could not speak English; however, her [[screen test]] showed a powerful presence, and the producers hired a coach to train her [[Phonetics|phonetically]] to handle the character's dialog. Of the [[all-star]] cast, LaGarde would be the only one to earn an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] nomination and the only one to win a [[Golden Globe Award]].
