Jules Verne's Mystery on Monster Island Trailer

Original Trailer for the Spanish-American adaptation of Jules Verne's novel "L'École des Robinsons" ("School for Robinsons" aka. "Godfrey Morgan"). In the novel, there are no monsters at all; it a rather typical robinsonade with wild animals, natives, and - as it turns out - plotting millionaires, one for the good, one evil. Almost nothing turns out the way it seems. Nor does in the movie, which (at least in Germany) was brought on screen eyeing for the horror enthusiast - not only with Peter Cushing top-billed (as, despite his small part, he probably was anywhere else as well), but also Spanish horror star Paul Naschy, who has only sort of cameo and who mainly wanted to be in the movie to meet his British colleague.

The title is rather strange concerning the total lack of monsters in both the film and the novel it was based upon, but I believe Peter Cushing's presence makes it still worth watching. :)

There are monsters in the movie ... monstrous monsters made by the cardboard department. ;)

3:35, the music sounds like an 80's cartoon.

I remember when this movie used to air on the Sci-Fi channel.

David Hatton gets clobbered and you hear the cartoony "boing" noise.

I guess J.P. Simon wants to cash in on Robert Altman's POPEYE.
