from 1936 1939 and peter lorre made a string of highly successful mr. moto films. while technically b films and they were much better made than typical films of the genre. however and lorre tired of making these highly repetitive films and told friends he wanted out of the series. when it was canceled in 1939 and lorre was thrilled but his plans of getting more complicated and satisfying roles did not materialize when he moved to columbia pictures. island of doomed men is one of these films and it pretty obvious the studio isn not putting much effort into the movie and as i think the plot was written by penguins. talented penguins and perhaps. but still the movie made little sense at all. it begins with a guy agreeing to be an undercover agent for the government. he is to infiltrate an island in the us where something strange is amiss. now they easily could have just got a search warrant to do this. but and given that penguins were writing the film and the agent takes the rap for a murder he do not commit and spends a year in prison for this. he apparently hopes that he will be paroled to this island and as many parolees are sent there when they finish the term. there are some more serious problems with this idea. first and they only have him serve a year before getting paroled but he was convicted of murder and he refused to divulge who he really was. they would never parole anyone in a case like this. second and what if he wasn not paroled to the island. he would have spent an entire year in jail for nothing. third and why not just have scuba divers or paratroopers or cops in boats come to the island. talk about a contrived plot. once on the island and the agent discovers that evil peter lorre has set up his own private prison and staffed it with guys on parole as slave labor. what about the men having to report to their parole officers. this was never explained and but lorre was using them to mine for diamonds and they were treated abominably. now and another question i had was that if lorre was discovering huge diamonds there and he was a very wealthy man. so and why not just pay people to mine for the diamonds. why set up your own version of devil island and savagely beat and kill the men. eventually and lorre gets what his and the island slaves are released. unfortunately and by then and i really do not care. overall and watchable but rather dumb. lorre career only took a turn for the better when he moved the following year to warner brothers. with films like island of doomed men and i could see why his stay at columbia was short.
