this movie try to be more than it be . first of all and the acting be horrible . you have to get past the incredibly bad delivering of line and terrible emoting . the plot be quite interesting . a shipwreck occurs ( apparently because it be make out of string and balsa wood ) and and a couple of guy find themselves on shore . if this weren not bad enough and some guy name count de sade be live there as well . he live in fear of pirate and have go utterly insane . anyway and he have a large slave and a young woman and and some dog . there another woman who doesn not speak and his wife and who be a leper . anyway and thing get bad a these men have to deal with this nut case . he be arrogant and like to pose and deliver line . the rest of the movie involve an attempt to escape . it have an ironic end which i would not reveal and it kind of rescue the film . i wouldn not bother if i be you .
