Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFinal film of director Frank Tuttle, perhaps best remembered for his two Alan Ladd films from 1942: This Gun for Hire (1942) (the film that made Ladd a star, along with Veronica Lake) and Lucky Jordan (1942). Tuttle had been blacklisted in 1947 after being labeled a communist and had subsequently had difficulty finding work. Ladd most likely hired him as a way to repay him for the film 17 years earlier.
- GoofsThe island seen through the plane's windows before it crash lands is clearly not the same as the "island" they land on. The real island seen from the plane is a large, steep mountain jutting up from the ocean, quite obviously without the beaches, jungles, lagoon or flat lands depicted in the rest of the film.

Featured review
Let's Get Away From It All
Frank Tuttle who was a contract director at Paramount and most famous for This Gun For Hire ended his directorial career on a sad note. A blacklist victim, Tuttle's last film was Island Of Lost Women. It should be added that their dad was with them.
In fact Alan Napier who is the dad is responsible for building an island paradise for his three daughters who since the mid 40s have been growing up and filling out quite nicely. The daughters are Venetia Stevenson, Diane Jergens, and June Blair. Like Anne Francis in Forbidden Planet they've been educated in a lot of areas except the facts of life, no avenues for practical experience and home work.
Into their lives come Jeff Richards and John Smith, a pair of healthy American males who get themselves lost when their plane conks out and they land on the beach. Even with those three girls for company, Alan Napier doesn't want them around. Napier was a nuclear scientist who saw the world destructing itself and he was going to get away from it all. He's even developed workable and practical solar energy and what we wouldn't give to have that about now.
The story was kind of dumb even a smart guy like Napier couldn't keep those daughters of his from getting curious about the world. Special effects were laughable, especially with Jeff Richards knife in hand wrestling with a rubber shark.
Paradise does come to an end in Island Of Lost Women and not to soon.
