a shipwrecked man ( michael york ) end up on an island where dr. moreau ( burt lancaster . ) live with his helper mr. montgomery ( nigel davenport ) and the required beautiful and sexy woman ( barbara carrera ) . it seem he do some strange experiment on animal . york be horrify to discover that he be try to turn animal into men and and instead and come up with half man half animal mutant . and it look like york might be next . i saw this a a kid and thought be be a little dull but ok. see it a an adult it very dull and not even remotely ok. the science in the film be just ridiculous a be the reason behind it . the act waver . mostly everybody be ok ( especially york and davenport ) but lancaster walk through his role and carrera ( a stunningly beautiful woman ) be no actress . it be a well make and elaborate movie beautifully shoot in the virgin island but way too slow and dull . the save grace be the scenery and some excellent makeup on the animal men . nice score too . no where near as good a the 1933 island of the lost soul but slightly good than the 1996 remake . i give it a 3 .
