Adventure Island

Yes folks, I still can't believe such an unbelievable thing. I guess I am dreaming...Sam Newfield, the prince, the wizard of Poverty Row Hollywood, the most prolific director of grade Z films ever. And in his latest years nearly.... Edward L Cahn, also an opponent to Newfield in terms of Z stuff, worked for big majors- Universal, Metro Goldwyn Mayer -, but it was during his early days, in the thirties, with LAW AND ORDER, for instance; but that was his early career, certainly not his latest films. Imagine Edward L Cahn working for MGM or Twentieth Century Fox in 1961 !!!! Ha ha ha Here with this Sam Newfield's movie, I still can't believe it is from Paramount, despite the presence of Rory Calhoun and Rhonda Fleming, for whom adventure films were more than an habit, a cliché.... Good little lousy picture, agreeable, fun to watch. But, why Williams Pine and Thomas worked with Sam Newfield, I guess this will remain the biggest mystery in the world, far far before thhe Great pyramids of Egypt constructions.
