Luckily it's short, only one hour and 6 minutes! Because if you have the patience to see it, you will face some stupid characters, engaged in an equally stupid scenario. OK, let's say it's an adventure somewhere near an island somewhere in the Philippines. A few men who think with their feet, because they don't show that they have normal brains, are also manipulated by an idiot, who is also a criminal. Two of the men die very quickly and easily in this hour and 6 minutes, being victims firstly of their own stupidity and secondly due to the intrigues woven by the criminal Edward Stuart Godfrey, played unconvincingly by John Farrow. And the other characters are also played by second-hand actors, totally unrealistic and non-credible. There is also a blonde beauty, not who knows what beauty, Joanne Godfrey, played by Nan Adams. OK, to conclude, if you read the own statement of the actor Jon Hall, the interpreter of the Dave Courtney character, you get a clear impression of his professional level, valid for the entire cast: "I never liked acting. I don't like to be told what to do and what to say and how to say it. I'm grateful to it as it provided me with the money to do other things such as I'm into now, but as a profession, it's a bore." It's the first film directed by Charles B. Griffith. It would have been better not to have made this film! Zero stars!
