From the archive
This is a fun adventure movie. Airplanes, bandits, pretty girl, comical sidekick... The copyright owner failed to renew, and it's been pretty widely copied and republished. This copy is a re-edit of one that I found on this site. I removed some damaged frames, cleaned up the audio, and replaced the crummy title cards (Alpha Video) with something that is a better match (better, not great). Eva Gabor is in her prime and very easy to watch. This is not great cinema. The action takes place in a Pacific island country, where everyone speaks English, with an assortment of accents. One of the main characters, played by J Carrol Nash, has the appearance of a Mexican bandit, with a Chico Marx speaking style. Just don't nit pick about such things, and enjoy the movie.
