Forbidden Island is a 1959 film directed by Charles B. Griffith. It was his debut as director.
Production [edit]
The film was shot on location in Hawaii.[2] Rebecca Welles was originally cast in the lead role but had to pull out and was replaced by Nan Adams.[3]
"I had an early chance to direct but was too dumb to know that I had to work with the editor," Griffith said later. "They told me I had an Oscar-winning editor; I told them we needed an Oscar-winning firestarter."[1]
