Aloma of the South Seas is a 1926 silent film starring Gilda Gray as an erotic dancer, filmed in Puerto Rico and Bermuda, and based on a 1925 play of the same title by John B. Hymer and LeRoy Clemens. Grossing $3 million in the U.S. alone, this was the most successful film of 1926 and the fourth most successful film of the 1920s.
The film is now considered to be a lost film.
The film was remade as Aloma of the South Seas (1941), starring Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall.
