Steve S The parallels to "Papillon" are obvious. What a horrid place Devil's Island must have been. A few familiar faces can be seen throughout the movie (the captain of the rescue ship is Perry White in the TV show Superman; one character was also in the 1973 version). Karloff was terrific in a limited but lead role…he was just a good actor. Make sure you stick around for the end…a very close shave, so to speak!

Karloff plays an doctor who's wrongly imprisoned on the titular Devil's Island. On the island prison he's faced with harsh conditions and a warden who's labeled him a trouble maker. This picture is better than a lot of Karloff pictures, but it's really nothing specials.
