This was filmed on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i back to back with Voodoo Island (1957) by the same production company. Many of the crew and two of the actors worked on both films.
The star is named Lex Barker, and the composer is Les Baxter
Plot is similar to the James Cagney film 'Torrid Zone' about local tropical island revolutionaries fighting against who are the central white characters "exploiting" their land, but with a pre World War/Pearl Harbor twist.
