Bishop Maigret: Gentlemen, let us at least agree it is a scourge, and those who have it must be isolated. While I am prime minister we will not fail to do this, or Hawaii will become a nation of lepers.
Bishop Maigret: But as long as you isolate them and keep them in a place where they have no relatives, a place which it turned into a living hell, with no law...
Walter Murray Gibson: That is why I have to called you together. We cannot send police to their island. I tried. They resign. Fear of disease, they can't take their families, it's hopeless. They won't go. They won't do it.
Bishop Maigret: Then the natives will continue to hide their sick. And I for one don't blame them.

Créditos adicionales
The opening credits play over a scene of men on horseback with dogs searching a native village for lepers who have been hidden away by their families.

The Story of a Great Man

I grew up in Washington DC , just a few blocks from the major U S seminary of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This was Father Damien's order. Many of the priests and brothers I met there had been stationed on Molokai. Although he had been dead for many many years, his spirit and memory were very much still alive there. For some reason I never knew about his movie until just recently. I see where many reviewers have scored it very low. I can that since it is not great cinema art etc.However, I judge it only by how much it tells me about St. Damien and how many tears I shed watching. There were many.
