for the record and the 1949 version of the blue lagoon be not the original film and a many have state . this story be film in great britain and in 1923 and just after the novel be write . as much a i would love to see the 1949 version and i would thoroughly enjoy an opportunity at see the true original release of this story on film . grant and the 1980 film with christopher atkins and brooke shield and and the two youngster be film with beautiful cinematography . the act do not seem all that great when i first view this film and but after have view this a few time . it become obvious that two child grow up on an island without adult guidance and would indeed have a simplistic way of approach life . whether it be in their language and appearance and or daily activity . although some have be fortunate enough to view the 1949 blue lagoon and i can not help but wonder if there be anyone live who can remember the 1923 release of this story to film .
