This is a very early Roger Corman film, though it bears little similarity to most his brilliant films. While this is a low-budget film, the dialog, acting and direction are so lackluster that it's hard sticking with the film.
The dull mess begins with a couple crooks doing bad things (such as bashing a guy over the head). Eventually, their boat is wrecked and they find themselves on a Polynesian island (actually one of the Hawaiian ones) populated with only women. Apparently some company owns the place and the women spend their time working for the pearl diving industry. The crooked guys want in on the action and the ladies are amazingly dull and listless--so it's easy to understand that they seem somewhat immune to their charms. There's more to the film than this, but who cares?! The film lacks the cheesy charm you'd find in a Corman film like "Wasp Women" or the humor of "Bucket of Blood" or the creepiness of his Poe-like tales. Instead, it looks like it was just an excuse to go on location for a working vacation.
Dull and pointless.
