Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFinal film of director Frank Tuttle, perhaps best remembered for his two Alan Ladd films from 1942: This Gun for Hire (1942) (the film that made Ladd a star, along with Veronica Lake) and Lucky Jordan (1942). Tuttle had been blacklisted in 1947 after being labeled a communist and had subsequently had difficulty finding work. Ladd most likely hired him as a way to repay him for the film 17 years earlier.
- GoofsThe island seen through the plane's windows before it crash lands is clearly not the same as the "island" they land on. The real island seen from the plane is a large, steep mountain jutting up from the ocean, quite obviously without the beaches, jungles, lagoon or flat lands depicted in the rest of the film.

A "B" Movie That Never Makes A Statement
With a title like "Island of Lost Women", this has to be a B movie. But the cheesy melodrama one would expect from such a title is absent.
Two men have to make an emergency landing on an unknown island, where they discover a scientist and his three beautiful daughters. The girls have never seen another man before and they are intrigued by any information about the outside world.
The two men want to leave the island, because they have lives to recover. The three girls want the men to spend time with them. The scientist only knows he wants his island to remain an unspoiled secret.
The dialogue is very straightforward. This allows the viewer to concentrate on the motivations of the characters, without the usual overacting. Most of the conversations center around ideas, not passion. But the film never takes advantage of that. Instead--like there's a clock ticking down the running time--the plot wraps up in an improbable way.
The cast is interesting, if not celebrated. In their combined filmographies, these actors weave in and out of the lives and professions of numerous celebrities. If only this script had given them more to work with. The final result is somewhat pleasant, if short and simple.
