The fast paced music for the chase scenes was particularly memorable, as were the scenes with Marie Windsor. The technical advisor was Don the Beachcomber. It was a rare treat to see this movie from a 35mm print on the big screen at the Castro theater. The huge theater (1700 seats) was pretty well packed during the 6:00 showing. They have this rare (never on VHS or DVD) film at Forbidden Island if you missed it last night. And here are some previous posts on this movie: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=17797&forum=1&hilite=Hell's%20Half%20Acre http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=17714&forum=1&hilite=Hell's%20Half%20Acre A photographer from "Paris' biggest weekly entertainment magazine" was covering the Festival and took pictures of yours truly but I didn't catch the name of the magazine. Virani would you know the name?
