Island of Mutations

It is 1891 and a military doctor, Lieutenant Claude de Ross (played by Claudio Cassinelli), is shipwrecked on a mysterious tropical island with a few newly escaped convicts. Claude comes across the sadistic Edmund Rackham (played by Richard Johnson) and the beautiful Amanda Marvin (played by Barbara Bach). It transpires that Amanda's father, Professor Ernest Marvin (Joseph Cotten), is a mad scientist who has invented a way of transforming people into amphibious deep-sea diving creatures. Rackham has managed to manipulate Professor Marvin into turning the local native population of the island into these creatures by convincing him that the mutations are being created for the highest of scientific and humanitarian motives. Having discovered the lost city of Atlantis far beneath the sea, Rackham is in fact using the amphibious creatures to loot its treasures. Amanda has a psychic link with the mutations. In one memorable scene, Amanda takes a midnight swim with some mutants wearing only a thin white cotton dress that leaves little to the imagination. All hell breaks loose once Claude discovers that Jos, one of the convicts he has befriended, has been turned into one of the creatures by Rackham and the scientist. The film ends with Claude and Amanda escaping the island as its great volcano begins to erupt.
