Krakatoa, East of Java 1969 G, 130 min.
Genre: Action
aka: Volcano
Director: Bernard L. Kowalski
Cast: Maximilian Schell, Diane Baker, Brian Keith, Barbara Werle, John Leyton, Sal Mineo, J.D. Cannon, Rossano Brazzi, Marc Lawrence, Jacqui Chan, Geoffrey Holder, Niall MacGinnis
In 1883, the volcanic island of Krakatoa exploded, sending shock waves several times around the Earth and causing thousands of deaths from fires and tidal waves. This action film uses the explosion as a background for its story of a ship that heads to the island in search of sunken treasure with an assorted collection of people on board, including criminals being taken to prison. Excellent special effects help make this watchable. Rereleased with a new name, perhaps due to the fact that Krakatoa is west of Java rather than east.
