I ESCAPED FROM DEVIL'S ISLAND 1973 (SHOUT FACTORY)

A Roger Corman production I had never seen until a few days ago.

Jim Brown and Christopher George star as two men who, after much abuse, decide to escape from the penal colony in French Guiana.

Brown is Le Bras a man whose life is spared after the death penalty is revoked and his life is nothing but hell. He meets up with Davert, (Chris George) who is trying to get a group to rebel against the cruelty.

The two plan an escape an manage to get off the island, but find themselves pursued by Maj. Marteau (Paul Richards) and his men. Davert and Le Bras are trying to reach a boat which will take them to safety and Marteau is catching up to them quickly.

This is not a bad Roger Corman production. Both he and his brother Gene produced this, and while it is nothing new, it's not bad either. Brown is commanding in the lead role, as usual and he works well with George.

William Whitney directed this fast moving film and the rest of the cast includes Jan Merlin, Richard Ely, and Richard Rust. This is included on a four action movie set from Shout, and if you like this kind of movie, then I recommend it to you.
