Review of Island of Desire

This is a sort of Admirable Crichton but with the lack of any of its class.The acting of Tab Hunter is substandard.Donald Gray is as stiff as a board.Darrell is pretty but is obviously on her way down in the pecking order.One of the many contract actors left adrift by the end of her studio contract.The story,which has been recounted by other reviewers,is so silly it is unintentionally funny.The arrival of Donald Gray on the hour mark sets the film on a downward course from which it never recovers
