A Volcanic Island with Hidden Dangers
31 March 2019
When an airplane pilot by the name of "Roy Atkins" (Archie Twitchell) goes missing somewhere in the South China Sea two other pilots named "Bob Mitchell" (Ray Milland) and "Jimmy Wallace" (Lynne Overman) are ordered to fly over a certain area in search of him. Unfortunately, they encounter a storm while doing so and have to crash land on what appears to be an unpopulated, volcanic island. Not long afterward they meet an attractive young woman by the name of "Tura" (Dorothy Lamour) who has with her a chimpanzee and lion cub as her only companions. But what they don't realize at the time is that extremely hostile natives occasionally visit the island from time to time and that their lives are in great danger if discovered by them. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a rather dated film which didn't really get interesting until about halfway through. Likewise, although the scenery was nice I didn't especially care for the performance of Lynne Overman who became somewhat annoying quite early on in the movie. That being said, while it wasn't a bad film by any means, I honestly expected better and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
