Octopus's garden, 25 August 2007
4/10
Author: dbdumonteil

Virginia Mayo is the only reason why you would feel like watching this naive story which looks like a very average comic strip.She sails to an island with her two pals to latch on to the black pearls (check the title).Best scenes are when she claims to be a missionary (sic) talking about the "true" God to a priest who has other fish to fry:celebrating a wedding for instance.

Although in love with one of the beachcombers ,Rita (Mayo) falls (or pretends to) in love with a native who knows where the treasure is hidden.But a giant octopus (is it the monster Cecil B.De Mille used in "reap the wild wind"(1942) and Ed Wood hired for "Bride of the monster" (1956)?)keeps a close watch on it.
