Island of Lost Women (1959)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Frank Tuttle
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Two he-man flyers make an emergency landing on a remote Pacific island. They are greeted by a scientist and his three beautiful daughters who have left civilization behind because of the threat of the atomic bomb. They have converted a cave into a luxury home powered by solar energy. The scientist performs experiments with uranium in the living room. He destroys their plane with a ray gun, so the two men start building a raft. They spend most of the time with their shirts off and flirting with the innocent young girls who walk around in Greek togas. It's sort of like Forbidden Planet on Gilligan's Island hosted by Batman's butler Alfred. There is a serious anti-nuclear message buried somewhere in this hilariously awful film.
