    Little budget and exotic scenarios in this quickie Corman
    This movie in short budget was made because Corman was in Puerto Rico to shoot ¨Creature from the haunted sea¨(1961) . The film concerns about a trio , Evelin (Betsy Jones Moreland) , her husband (Anthony Carbone) and their lawyer (Edward Wain-Robert Towne) . While they are fishing during vacations on coast of Puerto Rico happens an unexplained disaster , a temporary lack of oxygen . It causes death everybody on the island and may be all the world . Then gradually stay the lonely trio and originating the classical loving triangle between the survivors on earth . The film is a survival drama with romance included and was shot during a few days in minimum budget . It's one of the weirdest ever made by Corman .

    The trio protagonist is fine ,a gorgeous Betsy Jones Moreland along with Anthony Carbone , they're Roger Corman's regulars . Special mention for Edward Wain , Robert Towne's pseudonym , he achieved a successful career both , as director and screenwriter , with Oscar included . Screenwriter Robert Towne didn't have the completed script finished on time ; rather than paying to have both an actor and a screenwriter on location , Roger Corman saved money by drafting Towne to act in the movie as a lawyer . Moreland-Carbone-Towne starred at the same time the ¨Creature from the haunted sea¨(about a gangster by creating fear with a fake sea monster then the real shows up) also filmed in Puerto Rico . As it was Roger Corman's practice when going on location to make the most of that location by shooting a second film . In the film intervenes habitual Corman technicians such as cameraman J. Marquette and musician by Ronald Stein who composes an atmospheric score . During the sixties Corman also filmed his biggest hit ¨Little shop of horrors¨, another super-quickie , as freakish as this one . Roger posteriorly carried on the famous Edgar Allan Poe adaptations (The terror , Fall of the house of Usher , Pit and pendulum , Prematural burial , The raven , Masque of the red death) .For Leonard Matlin , the rating is : ¨bomb¨, I think is mediocre . The film is exclusively for hardcore Corman fans .
