Rating: 1 out of 10, The next in my
exploration of Bad Cinema and my first ever exposure to what passed as West German
soft core porn in 1960. There was no nudity, just a lot of nubile young ladies
running around a supposedly tropical island pursued by a “spider-man”. A troop
of dancing girls is assembled in New York for a trip to Singapore only to crash
in the Pacific and end up on the aforementioned island. The lone male is
attacked by a giant spider (because you know uranium was around) and turns into
a peeping tom half spider. Most of the movie has the gals either running around
the island or dancing. Easy to see how the West Germans survived the cold war
with this type response to danger.
MVP: Helga Franck as Georgia, the lone
brain cell amongst the troop
