Island of Lost Men

Island of Lost Men is a 1939 American crime film directed by Kurt Neumann and starring Anna May Wong and J. Carrol Naish.

Kim Ling, the daughter of a general accused of embezzling $300,000 of Chinese government money, investigates his disappearance.

There she meets Chang Tai, who is an undercover Chinese secret service agent investigating Prin's activities.

After discussion with its sales manager in Japan, Paramount Pictures changed the title to Island of Lost Men.

[8] Frank S. Nugent of The New York Times wrote that the "kindliest" thing one could say about the movie is that Naish is in it, "only this time with a slant to Mr. Naish's villainous eyes", and that the jungle setting was so unbelievable that it implied that "if the camera were swung no more than a frame or so to either side it would reveal a filling station, or a roadside food dispensary in the shape of a hot dog".
