Not sure how much of the island is shown, but obviously you'll see a lot of pre-Castro Havana in this independently made Errol Flynn programmer, dealing with counterfeit Cuban currency and Flynn's being implicated in having phony bills. The film is interesting of course for the location footage, but in black and white looks pretty much like every tropical island visited by a film crew. From the credits, it appears that a lot of local talent was used, definitely for the cast, and some behind the scenes as well.
To me, Flynn just looked a bit world weary, not too much older than his last Warner Brothers films of 1953. The aged Flynn is perfectly cast for this film, and if I was in his shoes, being constantly under surveillance or tied up by criminals, I'd look tired too. Pedro Armendáriz is the only other familiar actor in the film as the criminal mastermind, with Rossana Rory and Gia Scala (familiar from a few other films) are sisters here, one of them having given Flynn the phony money in the first place. The action doesn't really start until the second half so the viewer must have a bit of patience. It's too bad that the film has a title that sounds like a cartoon, but as the source book, I guess there's more to the boodle than meets the noodle.
