Alternate TV Version?
It’s been a long time since I saw this movie. I rented The old VHS version (NTA) with the lurid cover art, and I have the Blue Underground version. One thing that strikes me odd about this film is, was there an alternative version to this film? As a teenager, I saw a heavily cut TV version of this film titled: Island of Despair. Did the producers make a soft TV version? One of the prisoners (Eliza Montes) was talking about how she wound up in prison. Apparently, she murdered her rival for an older man. The scenes where Montes walks the sandy beach , and looking at a swing set rocking back and forth were rather memorable. I scanned through my Blue Underground copy (the movie is boring), and saw no such scene. Rosalba Neri’s flashback as well as Maria Rohm’s flashback were present, but no such scene with Eliza exists.
Hmm.
