Anna May Wong and J. Carroll Naish, so memorably teamed in
Paramount's Dangerous to Know, are costarred once more in Island of
Lost Men. Naish plays ruthless jungle plantation owner Gregory Prin, who
runs his domain like a dictatorship and treats his workers little better
than slaves. Into Prin's world comes Kim Ling (Wong), daughter of a
disgraced Chinese general. Kim Ling hopes to clear her father's name by
bringing his primary accuser, Prin, to justice. The native-uprising finale is
rendered in gloriously gruesome detail. A remake of the 1931 Charles
Laughton-Carole Lombard film White Woman, Island of Lost Men also
offers early but well-rounded performances by Anthony Quinn (as a
Chinese patriot!) and Broderick Crawford.
