Enchanted Island is a 1958 American Technicolor adventure film distributed by Warner Bros., directed by Allan Dwan, produced by Benedict Bogeaus, and written by Harold Jacob Smith, James Leicester, and Al Stillman.

Two 19th-century sailors, Abner (Dana Andrews) and Tom (Don Dubbins), jump ship after their captain, Vangs (Ted de Corsia), refuses them shore leave and warns them what a dangerous place this particular island is.

Abney becomes acquainted with the beautiful Fayaway (Jane Powell), adopted daughter of the chief, Mehevi (Friedrich von Ledebur), from a long-ago relationship between a shipwrecked sailor and a native girl.

When a fight between tribes breaks out, Tom wants to flee but Abner likes island life and the girl.

Then producer Benedict Bogeaus announced he was going to make his own version with Ray Milland, pointing out the novel was in the public domain, claiming he had registered the title and had a script ready from James Leceister, as well as footage of Fiji.

But I suffered through it with a drunken actor and a nice girl who didn’t belong in it - Jane Powell - she just looked false as hell.

[6]Jane Powell was "thrilled" when asked to make the film as she did not have to sing and her character died at the end.

"[7] Bogeaus and Waverly Productions later sued Andrews for $159,769 for breach of contract, citing twenty times when the actor was unable to work due to “extreme and severe self-induced intoxication”.
