Title: Devils Island & Sentimental Moments!
Review: An annual veiwing event at our house each Christmas. My first copy was taped off Ch. 38 in Boston back in the 70's,with Dana Hershey commentary and commercials. It has become unwatchable from wear so I was delighted to see it had made it to DVD.In a nutshell, 3 convicts, Bogart, Ustinov and Ray have escaped from prison and plan to leave Devil,s Island, but get caught up with the innocent family who runs the general store. The owner, mean Cousin Ardre (Rathbone), pays a surprise visit on Christmas Eve.Ustinov, Bogart, Ray and "Adolph" relate so beautifully with the other characters. Innocence, evil, redemption and love come through this corny but wonderful movie. You'll cry when Joan Bennett sings "Sentimental Moments" and laugh yourself silly when, well, whenever those "four" are around Paul & Cousin Andre. With the color and clarity so good, it's a hoot to look at all the details of the shop and home that I hadn't seen before.
