[5] In New Guinea, Ned "Shark Eye" Kelley floats in town on a raft, suffering from malaria and heat.

The local Australian District Officer, Fred, tells Kelley he cannot exploit the oil until the area has been officially "opened up".

In Port Moresby, another District Officer, Steve MacAllister, is about to go on eight months' leave when called in to help on the expedition, as he is the only person who knows the area.

Their formula was to set the action in an exotic location and for this third movie they chose New Guinea, where Rafferty and Robinson had both served in World War Two.

In May 1954 Rafferty and Robinson returned to Wewa from a location trip up the Sepik River.

They announced they planned to film at Kambaramba, a village on the swamp lagoon, at the end of July with a cast and technical crew of 40.

In December 1954 Boone announced he would act in the film, then called The Head Hunters.

[10] The movie was based on a story by Robinson and Rex Rienits wrote a script.

If you're going to have a completely new background, if you're going to shoot the picture on the Panama Canal or something, have a fairly conventional story-line, because the two differences are hard for audiences to handle.

[11] In April 1955 Rafferty said the film would be called Walk into Paradise and that Ann Vernon would play the female lead.

[12] Later that month Rafferty and Robinson issued a prospectus for investors to put money into the film, offering debentures at £50 each.

The first two would be co productions with Rafferty and Robinson:, starting withWalk into Paradise, which would be shot on location in New Guinea, in English and French versions.

The stars would be Rafferty, Reg Lye, and French players Pierre Cressoy and Francoise Christophe (Vernon having dropped out).

Robinson would direct while Marcel Pagliero would be the dialogue director of the French version.

Robinson got along well with Pagliero calling him "one of the most delightful guys you would ever meet in your life"[3] He says after the first few days of filming both "very quickly realised that you can only have one boss on the floor of the set."

"[3] Robinson said Pagliero "stood back from the film and worked with his actors a bit, helped the Australian actors with the French dialogue" but contributed more than Robinson originally thought because they would discuss scenes at night.

Christophe was a beautiful actress, but the bloke [Pierre Cressoy] was a sort of an action actor... a very big, good-looking fella...[but] I was looking for a performance like you expected out of the French people.

And then somebody told me - I think it was Pagliero, that in a picture with [Gina] Lollobrigida, he actually wrote his dialogue in lipstick on her forehead!

[20] Director Lee Robinson was nominated for the Golden Palm Award[21] but was beaten by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Louis Malle for Le Monde du silence.

"[2] When the film did poor business he retitled it Walk Into Hell, which increased its earnings dramatically.

[24] Variety called it "more of an adventure travelog... done in color with a definite storyline and benefits from some excellent photography of the New Guinea locale" and "some exciting sequences.
