A Great Movie, Lots Of Suspense and Mystery, Great cast
A fine movie with a rather unusual plot. William Shatner who plays Chase Prescott , a man with a business empire is very well cast. Barbara Eden as his designated detective is excellent and very convincing. It seems that everyone on the island except Barbara Eden (Henri O) is suspected of trying to murder him. Many mysterious occurrences makes the viewer wonder what is going to happen next. Henri O (Barbara Eden) as the detective is also in great jeopardy. William Shatner and especially Barbara Eden are very convincing. As in all her movies Barbara is always in control and courageous.
Comedy unintentional
I've just finished watching this movie and i found it quite enjoyable if unintentionally funny. If you love a little pot boiler murder mystery in the afternoon, this is your movie. don't expect too much from it and you'll enjoy. true, some of the stock lines and characters are in there. This is like an Agatha Christie movie really - the characters are two-dimensional but you're not here for that, are you? the mystery's the thing! and an impressive cast as well. i think they all did it for the pocket money myself. hey, you gotta eat, even in Hollywood! just tune in, turn off the brain, relax and enjoy the ride. oh, be warned. you get to see William Shatner in a bathing suit...
A murder mystery!
What can I say! It has Barbara Eden in it and that is all you need! A rich man who believes someone is out to kill him hires his ex to solve the case. Who would want to divorce Barbara? Check it out if you can!
Jeannie meets Capt. Kirk meets Cornelius meets Juliet meets Ralph Malph
I knew nothing about "Dead Man's Island" when I started watching it, other than the casting of Barbara Eden and William Shatner (whose famous shows aired during the same years on NBC in the '60s), and the setting on an island. As it progressed I noticed a little similarity between the movie and Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". In the end the movie turned out to be OK, not great. What caught my eye throughout the movie was that Eden's reporter stood out from the rest of the characters: most of them wear neutral colors most of the time, but she almost always wears bright colors, as though she's an anomaly in this group. What I mainly say about the movie is that the casting of Barbara Eden, William Shatner, Roddy McDowall, Olivia Hussey and Don Most means that a beautiful genie meets a captain traveling through space meets an intelligent ape meets drama's most famous lover meets a 1950s goof-ball.
Drivel.
I hated this movie. The title and plot description may make it sound interesting, but believe me - it isn't. The first scene sees our hero, Barbara Eden getting into a boat to go to the island, when an Indian man - who happens to be sat at the dock - tells her, "That was Dead Man's Island. And it will be again.", or words to that effect. From then on, I could tell what sort of entertainment I was in for. The plot was completely unrealistic - in a bad way. Every cliche in the book was present here - I could predict every twist, including the ending, before it had happened. To be frank - for a TV thriller - this film didn't thrill me at all. I don't know why Barbara Eden - a fine actress - ever agreed to do this. She probably did it in an attempt to rescue it, but unfortunately, she is beaten by the poor script and talentless cast members, (including William Shatner, who I used to think was talented).
