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.

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]]. ==Cast== The principal characters in the film were portrayed as follows: *[[Julie Andrews]] : Jerusha Bromley Hale *[[Max von Sydow]] : Abner Hale *[[Jocelyne LaGarde]] : Queen Malama *[[Gene Hackman]] : Rev.
