Her Island Romance is a very strange movie. You would think with that title it would be a romance film, but although there is romance and ( Spoilers ahead) Island girl Tula ( Dorothy Lamour) does end up with pilot Bob ( Ray Milland), the scenes with the sacrifice to the crocodiles ( and there are double digit crocodiles in the movie) and the volcano eruption and the death of the Island natives are the ones you will remember. Tula who is an Island Princess is used as the means to sacrifice girls to the crocodiles by bad guy Kuasa (J. Carrol Naish). This scene reminds me of Black Moon where Juanita ( Dorothy Burgess) essentially does the same thing. Of course, Tula gets a better outcome then Juanita who is killed by her husband, because she was going to kill her daughter. The biggest problem with the film is Lynne Overman who was the comedy relief. His voice was aggravating. One major plus is not having Tula be able to speak English ( makes it work better), and the chimpanzee really works well and is not window dressing, I give it 7/10 stars. A good but not great movie:
