As with many persons who saw this movie in the late 1950s or early 60s, it was an unforgettable experience for me during my adolescence. I just remember it was erotically intense, not graphic, with three very beautiful female stars of those years and the 50s version of a hunk, all alone in an island. There is a funny visual reference to it in T.G. Alea's "Memorias del subdesarrollo", when a film director (Alea playing himself) shows to the protagonist several scenes and shots that had been cut by Cuban censorship, and that he was planning to add to one of his own films. One of these clips belongs to this motion picture, when Christian Marquand is kissing one of the women and adjusts his body on top of hers, between her legs. It is funny to see it has three costume designers, when they were hardly dressed; three producers and so many composers! I would love to see it again. And it also had a sexier title in Spanish, "The Island of Desire".
