This is a present day version of Robinson Crusoe where the title character is a US Navy officer and he ends up accruing a harem of native girls whom he has to save from their cruel tribal chief father.

The only named female characters are Wednesday, the love interest native girl who is so dubbed by the protagonist because he was too lazy to learn her actual name, I guess, and also his fiancee who's named Jane and he writes to a lot, but she never actually appears in person and we only know what she looks like because he has a picture of her. So it just barely manages a 1/3 rating.

None of the other native girls are named or differentiated and Wednesday only talks to them in the scene where they go to the Japanese submarine to fetch things for Crusoe.
