the story goes that playwright - filmmaker leslie stevens found god during a four - hour meeting with roman catholic priests following the national legion of decency' s screening of his directorial debut, private property. that spiritual awakening, coupled with president kennedy' s inaugural address, inspired stevens to make the land we love, a $ 275, 000 widescreen adventure filmed on catalina island and bankrolled by united artists. when it was released a year later, this peculiar drama - - bereft of action for most of its running time - - was re - titled hero' s island and promoted as a swashbuckling adventure (

hero' s island is musty and meandering, but adventure films seem to be built upon lies, half - truths, and sudden reveals. the latter element only works - or works best - when an interminably long build - up has occurred. in this case, the element in question is jacob weber' s (james mason) true identity. when the moment finally comes to pass, mason is atop a mountain (closer to a hillside), brandishing a cutlass, and proclaiming his real name - one that strikes terror in the hearts of men…

hero’s island, ” a movie i’d never heard of and now streaming on netflix, is a 1962 pirate (sort of) / survival film set in the early 18th century of the carolinas coast. written and directed by relative newcomer leslie stevens (he had only one previous screen credit, “the marriage go - round, ” a comedy starring james mason and susan hayward, based on his own play), the movie defies almost every expectation you’d have from what seems from the title like a genre movie while it becomes a very watchable adventure tale where, in spite of that title, there are few traditional heroes .
dillon, his wife manx, their three children, and friend oates make their new home on bull island, off the carolina coast in 1718. they are attacked by fishermen who claim the island is theirs, and dillon is killed. castaway mason is washed ashore and offers his assistance to manx, but she is a deeply religious woman and doesn' t want to resort to violence... . read more

there' s a nice cast in this distinctive movie, with james mason in the lead. i got this one a long time ago and couldn' t remember the general story, thinking it was more like swiss family robinson, but no. this one is serious throughout, with few moments of levity. i has a strange sort of quirky low budgetness to it, but that' s partly because very little travelling is done here. it does fit, though, …
decent film set in 1718 about a family of freed indentured workers who are given an island * by their former employer and intend to start a new life there. however, they find out that they are not alone and a struggle for their own survival soon begins ...
genuinely stumbled upon this period piece swashbuckler on account of its unbelievable cast: warren oates, rip torn, (harry) dean stanton, and james mason (also credited as one of the producers, as with ray' s bigger than life) .
18th century period piece about a family of indentured servants who inherit an island off the carolina coast but come up against a group of fisherman who live there. a bit milder material than the awesome cast (warren oates, rip torn, harry dean stanton, neville brande james mason) would suggest, still a decent watch that moves right along. written and directed by the outer limits' leslie stevens with music by dominic frontiere, you can definitely see and hear tol in this non - fantastical work .
there' s some nice location scenery to look at and james mason delivers a decent performance as do some of the supporting players but this moves at a crawl for the first hour and even when it picks up towards the end it still isn' t that exciting. the main actress is stiff and uncharismatic a major defect since so much of the story revolves around her. if you' re a fan of pirate movies there are many others that would satisfy better than this, blackbeard the pirate with robert newton and linda darnell chief among them .

it' s difficult to fathom the minority negative reviews submitted for this film, as it really is a fine effort, which is certainly different from the run of the mill films of this type. the dialogue suits the period, and definitely lends an authentic touch to the proceedings. the ensemble cast is uniformly excellent, with particularly fine performances from james mason, warren oates, and the ill - fated kate manx. the pace of the film is just right, and it proves to be an absorbing tale that retains the viewers attention throughout. despite the fact that it is rarely seen, these days, it is well worth seeking out. an excellent and underrated film .

an amazing assortment of oddball character actors at the start of their careers in an oddball movie that proves captivating enough despite' outer limits' producer leslie stevens' sluggish, borderline incompetent direction. oates is great, mason is fun if a little confused, harry dean stanton has blond hair, and rip torn hadn' t yet discovered the real meaning of being rip torn in a rip torn kind of world .
