An implausible story that veers into wild camp, this film stars Peter Lorre as the dandyish superintendent of a hellish island prison camp who keeps his lavish lifestyle and glamorous wife through less-than-legal means. Lorre is amazing here, wrenching entertainment value from every ludicrous line. In 35mm.
