The Lure of the Islands
When the screen is filled with former stripper Margie Hart and sexy young Gale Storm
attired in scanty bathing suits, story lines dissolve like smoke. But, for the record,
two American sailors are sent undercover to a South Seas island paradise to investigate
Nazi infiltrators. While serving their country, they manage to romance two beautiful
native girls and thwart a Japanese invasion.
Lure Of The Islands showcases ample charms of burlesque queen Margie Hart in her first
and only starring role. Beautiful Gale Storm went on to stardom as TV's My Little
Margie in 1951. Robert Lowery appears in rare turn as the comedic leading man, and "Big
Boy" Williams trades in his Stetson for a sailor's cap.
Journeyman director Jean Yarbrough is best remembered for The Abbot And Costello Show
but worked on many other hit series including The Life of Riley, The Adventures Of Wild
Bill Hickock, Captain Gallant of The Foreign Legion, My Favorite Martian, Petticoat
Junction and many others.
