Movie review - "Enchanted Island" (1958) **

One of the last films of Alan Dwan. It's not a bad south seas story from Herman Melville - man jumps ship on island with mate, finds locals, falls for native girl (Jane Powell!), mate leaves and Andrews worries if he was eaten. This bit is solid drama.

It's a patch film. It's fun to see how drunk Andrews is (he was good at hiding it but he slurs here), Jane Powell in a black wig playing an islander, Mexico standing in for the south seas. 

It's not really a good movie but I enjoyed it.
