It's Ol' Blue Eyes vs the volcano

The Devil at 4 O'Clock is an excellent disaster movie from 1961.

Three convicts on their way to Tahiti land on a volcanic island in the South Seas to allow a new priest to alight. They help out at a leper hospital there but a volcano blows its top and the children at the hospital are in danger. Outgoing Father Dunnon and the three convicts team up and go to rescue the children but a footbridge collapses, stranding Dunoon and one of the convicts, who later dies. The children make it to safety and Ol' Blue Eyes, who plays one of the convicts goes back to be with Dunoon and the island finally explodes and sinks into the sea.

This movie has excellent special effects, especially the eruption scenes.

As well as Frank Sinartra, the cast also includes the excellent Spencer Tracy as Dunoon and Kerwin Mathews (The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Jack the Giant Killer).

The Devil at 4 O'Clock is a great way to spend a couple of hours. Excellent.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
