ESCAPE FROM HELL ISLAND(1963)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics


This starts out pretty good then digresses!
The problem is that the "bad guy" can't act!
The lead actor and actress are fine! Just not
a riviting movie! C

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Very routinely directed by actor Mark Stevens
from a script by T.L.P. Swicegood based on a
novel by Robert Sheckley. Presumably it is just
pure coincidence that the first half of the
movie bears a striking resemblance to "To Have
and Have Not" whilst the second half seems
to be plainly based on "Plein Soleil". In
between is a dull, dialogue- loaded triangle
romance. Admittedly, the climax promises
some excitement, but this is largely dissipated
by its inordinate length and Mark Stevens'
flat direction. True, the movie's production
values get a boost from actual location lensing,
but otherwise this film has little to recommend
it. Mark Stevens' performance is as tired as
his direction. Admittedly, there's not much
even Elia Kazan could do with a screenplay
as overloaded with dull dialogue as this
one! - JohnHowardReid
