THE ISLAND MONSTER (1954) ¢
D: Roberto Montero
Boris Karloff, Franca Marzi, Renato Vicario,
Patrizia Remiddi, Jole Fierro, Carlo Duse
A lifeless, low-end thriller about a narcotics agent trying to take down a drug-smuggling ring on a resort island off the coast of Italy. Not even Boris can save this one, and like everybody else in the cast, his lines are dubbed, in his case by another actor doing a bad Boris Karloff imitation. Karloff gamely goes through the motions, but he was miserable working on the picture, and it's widely considered to be the worst movie of his career.
