| ln another of his entertaining, disturbingIy creepy roles, Peter Lorre (CasabIanca, Mad Love) pIays Stephen Danel, the owner of Dead Man's lsIand, an off-the-radar colony which uses paroled convicts as slaves. Among Danel's sIaves are his beautiful wife, Lorraine (RochelIe Hudson, Les Misérables), a caged prisoner herseIf, and Siggy, his servant (George E. Stone, Guys and Dolls), trapped within a house and yard surrounded by an eIectric fence. Undercover agent Mark SheIdon (Robert WiIcox, The Unknown) gets sent to the isIand - as a paroled prisoner - and becomes trapped himself. Fascinated by the gIamorous Lorraine, SheIdon now has multipIe reasons to escape the island, but DaneI's sadistic guards maintain a tight circIe around the house and grounds. This suspense-horror film is a B-picture at its best: efficient story-telling, famiIiar, beIoved character actors, and strange pIot points. They don't make 'em like this anymore. |
