"Throbbing adventure and blazing lips!" Over a decade before becoming known to television viewers as Lisa Douglas on television's Green Acres, "Hollywood's hottest bet" Eva Gabor starred as the Balinese beauty Sarna in this 1952 Polynesian potboiler, the final film directed by silent era vet Bud Pollard (The Horror). Paul Valentine from the noir classic Out Of The Past is a Navy pilot who crash lands on a remote island populated with savage amazons who...wait, wrong movie. It's populated with beautiful island women who scheme for his attention and inflame the jealousy of the villainous Uraka (Malcolm Lee Beggs, who in four years would be beaten to death by two teenagers in a robbery attempt). This soporific scenario is padded with scenes scissored from the 1935 feature Legong: Dance Of The Virgins, which is reviewed elsewhere on this site (see September 2014).
