One of my fave (really old) movies, 7 June 2000
10/10
Author: Shawn Watson (gator_macready@yahoo.com) from The Underverse

This is one of the best movies ever made. Even by today's standards this movie totally rocks. The editing, plot, lighting, photography and music are all top notch and together they create an authentic and original film that is way better than any of it's numerous remakes.

The plot (I won't ruin it) has big game hunter Robert Rainsford (Joel MacRea) shipwrecked on an exotic Island off the coast of America where a Russian Count (Leslie Banks) offers him a place to stay in his castle while he recovers.

There he meets a brother and sister who have also been shipwrecked and suspicions arise. That's all I'm going to tell you.

Originally this movie was supposed to be over 85 minutes long but budget cuts resulted in the loss of many scenes and the film now runs at only 63 minutes but that doesn't mean it isn't worth your time. In fact it's the exact opposite. When you watch this movie you'll realise there was a time when movies meant art in Hollywood and not opportunities by studios to rake in cash.

A definite 10/10.
