Richard (Christopher Atkins) and Emmeline (Brooke Shields) finally kiss.
This 1980 film adaptation of the popular Henry Devere Stackpoole novel The Blue Lagoon was the first to receive a "R" rating. The core storyline remains unchanged. Two young children, a boy and a girl, are stranded on a lush tropical island. They are looked for by fellow castaway Leo McKern. When he dies, the kids, played by Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins in minimal attire, are left with just each other. When they reach adolescence, they fall madly in love. Nestor Almendros' rich imagery is the main feature of The Blue Lagoon, which was heavily reshaped and reedited prior to publication. Return to the Blue Lagoon, a sequel, came out in 1990.
