Movie reivew - "Walk into Paradise" (1956) *** (re-viewing)

It's not a classic, far from it, a traipse through the bust. Lee Robinson and Chips Rafferty never mastered the art of dramatic writing - they keep missing opportunities to make this more interesting, introducing the crocodile hunter hero too late, not doing enough with Reg Lye who really should be more of a baddy.

The girl is fine, so are the other actors - Chips is Chips. The big appeal is the location photography. Something is always happening. Locals getting sick. A shoot out. People being bitten by wild life. It's a decent trek film with a very novel setting.
