This one had an island or pacific or jungle location and two lovers and there was either a volcano explosion or something the woman was in the water and a woman threw a rock and hit the man in the head as he was trying to save the woman in the water. At the end of the move 2 island boys and a little were singing a tune...la la la la la la la ala la . oh please someone what is the name of that movie?

One of the main 'props' were several 6 or 8 wheeled all terrain vehicles, possibly amphibious. Possibly painted white. The movie was about some expedition for why I do not know. Matchbox may have made models of the vehicles. The vehicles may have been some version of the Alvis Stalwart (there is a wiki page).<br /><br />No particular reason why I want to know the movie, but I think about it from time to time. Pretty sure it is a 'B Grade' movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-40673366859616686742017-10-29T19:00:41.331-04:002017-10-29T19:00:41.331-04:00And there were tribal drumbeats in the background....And there were tribal drumbeats in the background.

Like I said, it was twenty years ago. I've been hunting for it ever since, but with no title and no idea who the stars were, I'm probably out of luck.<br /><br />Though John Carroll would pretty well match my remembered image of Brandy.

There were alot of great jungle films made in the 1960s too....Rhino, Rampage, The Last Safari, The Pink Jungle, etc. John Carroll in "Congo Maisie" came to mind when you say this fellow had a Gable mustache, but he didn't play a fellow called Brandy.

The Great White Hunter in it was named/nicknamed "Brandy," and he had a pencil-thin, Gable-esque mustache. My brother swears Brandy was a blond, and I swear he had dark hair. Anybody have any idea what movie that could have been?Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
