Put on your finest tropical attire, mix yourself a Mai Tai and join us for two titanic tiki treats from 1958.
Partially filmed in Florida's Coral Caste, Wild Women of Wongo is an utterly ridiculous tale of an island populated by gorgeous women and brutish ape men. The story is that playwright Tennessee Williams directed a few scenes of this wretched mess.
She Gods of Shark Reef, meanwhile, is another Roger Corman cheapie which at least has the advantage of being filmed on location in Kaua'i. In this epic, two brothers are shipwrecked on a Tropical Island inhabited by nubile young women (these Tropical Islands are all the same). There's trouble when it's discovered the island babes have a stash of valuable pearls.
