Island in the Sun (Darryl F. Zanuck; 20th Century-Fox), an unraveling of Alec Waugh's 1955 bestseller, is Moviemaker Zanuck's first lone-wolf production since he left Fox. This turbid plot-boiler clearly rates a special award as the sexiest West Indian travelogue ever made. The mating season is always in full swing on the throbbing Caribbean isle of Santa Marta, which doubtless boasts the highest imaginary birth rate of any 50-mile-long island under the sun.

Zanuck thought the condition of the Okies even worse than John Steinbeck had reported, in a supposedly superior medium, he does not attain as graphic a portrayal of their plight as did the author...
...Short, round-faced ex-dancer (with Martha Graham), ex-Hollywood Agent Harold Adolph Hecht, 49, who runs the business end of the partnership and shares authority with Lancaster, is convinced that this is the era of independent producers. Small production outfits are multiplying, and such major studio chiefs as Darryl Zanuck and Jerry Wald have recently quit their jobs to form independent companies...
