Return to Treasure Island (1954)


United Artists
Directed by E. A. Dupont
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(DVD, MGM Limited Edition Collection)

Amateur production with laughable acting from all involved. Tab Hunter is a former archaeologist living as a hermit on the famed Treasure Island 200 years after Captain Flint hid his loot. Dawn Addams is a descendent of Jim Hawkins, kidnapped by a group of treasure hunters. They stumble around the island following clues to the treasure hidden in a cave. Dawn is too sexy for this to be kiddie matinee fare, yet the plot is so simple that it could only be aimed at children, as such I have no idea what audience would enjoy this dreck, other than an MST3K treatment.
