      Color sets weren't really a part of the home until the
      mid 60's. Until then it was those rather smallish metal and plastic sets with the rabbit-ear antennas.
      We got 7 VHF channels if we were lucky - UHF if you were brave. And knobs galore ! Visits from your TV repair man, - open the back and it was a forest of tubes; tubes you could take to any grocery or drug store to test yourself (that is, - if any of them worked and you could figure-out just 'how' they were supposed to work !)
      Those were the days, when station's signed-off and were never 24 hours.
      📺 - they didn't even look like this yet !

      It was cheaper, and cooler (no extra thousand watt extra bulbs to make the scene brighter), to film in black and white.

      I looked at your playlists, you’re a child. You are correct though, that, in this life you can do whatever you want to do. But, know this, that there will be consequences for our words, thoughts and deeds when we are judged on Judgement Day. Stop fooling around and get ready to meet your Creator. You can be saved, if you want to. I hope you choose Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and that you become obedient to Him.

    Although this might have played Italian language theaters in America, it was really only seen in this country when it was dubbed into English and sold to television. When interviewed by good ol' CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN magazine we got this exchange-
    COF: In 1953 you made another film in Italy-IL MOSTRA DELL'ISOLA-[THE MONSTER OF THE ISLAND]...
    BK: Oh, yes. Oh, God.
    COF: Can you recall much about this one?
    BK: No. I haven't the least idea what it was like. Incredible! Dreadful! No one in the outfit spoke English; I don't speak Italian. Just hopeless.I had a very good time, but that's beside the point.

    Yes, this is a badly dubbed movie, with even Karloff's voice being dubbed (despite that he spoke his lines in English while filming). From what I've read (forget where) that the only reason Karloff took this role was the filming location. Of course, the 'monster' in this film is Karloff's role as a drug lord.

    Boris Karloff didn't want to waste his time memorizing a script so he just moved his lips & they got a guy to dub the words in later. Karloff got a free trip to Italy & some money for this turkey and he made extra money making live performances as the Frankenstein monster with a plastic mask on doing his trademarked "Errrrhrrr" walking around like a stiff with his hands in front of him then choking some Italian extras.

    You can't beat an old dubbed Italian film with Boris in. I will watch anything though. Still it was very enjoyable but a few disgruntled types might have a whinge because there was no monster.

But maybe in 1954 the "narcotic lingo" was not that well known as it is today.

    The dubbed acting in this is so atrocious that it should be a cult classic for that alone. Even Boris Karloff's self-dubbed lines are bad. He sounds like he recorded all his dialogue in his study late one night, having to keep his voice low and nearly whispering so he didn't wake up the rest of the house. Of course his recorded dialogue doesn't line up with his lip movement in the movie. It's all so bad it's almost good.

      Boris Karloff was in quite a bit of stinkers too: I was shocked at how bad Bedlam & Isle of the Dead were. Zzzzz! I don't know which was the most effective insomnia terminator. Usually, I can watch him but these two are the worst for me cos he's not even remotely cute in those. Not even "monster cute". That wig. The accent! The curly hair. The sullen attitude and long face in IOTD. I just couldn't. Sorry if you like those.

    Boris Karloff must have wanted some extra cash for him to make this clunker. The amateurish acting, poor dubbing, overly dramatic film score, and ridiculous storyline certainly contributed. The only saving grace, Boris Karloff's appearance even though his voice was dubbed.

    It is painful to watch that idiot fictitious character. The foolish woman had no business going there. What a terrible movie; very badly written.
