Unknown Island (1948)


Film Classics
Directed by Jack Bernhard
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Image Entertainment)

In Singapore, an adventurer and his fiance convince a reluctant captain to hire his boat for a charter to an island supposedly inhabited by dinosaurs. A local drunk comes along, having previously been to the island and seen the dinosaurs. After a long voyage and near mutiny, they arrive and promptly see the dinosaurs. They fight and bicker among themselves and finally leave. More melodrama than anything else, with a boring romantic triangle. The dinosaurs may be the worst ever committed to film, obvious rubber suits, not even to proper scale next to trees.
