Audience Member Minor drama with a silly story of a pair of strangers stranded on a desert island paradise until a third party arrives and causes no end of trouble. Linda does what she can with very little and looks great. This was Tab's first film and he is extremely green but tries his best and he certainly looks like an island boy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
