Robert Wise directed this tale about a man who survives a shipwreck and ends up on a lonely island.
The mans name is Don Rainsford (John Loder) and he is a big game hunter. He discovers that a man named Erich Kreiger (Edgar Berrier) is living on the island and has a couple of guests...Ellen Trowbridge (Audrey Long) and her brother Robert (Russell Wade).
Krieger is also a big game hunter and he tells Rainsford that he has found the perfect game to hunt on the island. Well if you know the story then you have already guessed his "game" is people.
Rainsford soon finds himself along with Ellen, being hunted in the jungle. However, Rainsford is no fool and he has more than one trick up his sleeve.
This isn't anything new, but it is well made and the cast does an excellent job. Audrey Long is simply ravishing and it's a shame her career wasn't longer in films. The film looks great on the DVD from Kino, and I do recommend it.
The rest of the cast includes Noble Johnson, Gene Roth, Robert Clarke, and Jason Robards, Sr.
