Plot summary

During World War II, a small plane somewhere over the Caribbean runs low on fuel and is blown off course by a storm. Guided by a faint radio signal, they crash-land on an island. The passenger, his manservant and the pilot take refuge in a mansion owned by a doctor. The quick-witted yet easily-frightened manservant soon becomes convinced the mansion is haunted by zombies and ghosts.

Now here's an useful fact next time you're

Now here's an useful fact next time you're playing a game of Trivial Pursuits. Did you know that if a zombie eats salt, then it dies again? Something I learned in this tale of a scientist who lures planes to his remote island where he uses voodoo and zombies to gather intelligence for his government during WWII. A who's who of the cast led by Dick Purcell and Joan Woodbury would be really quite superfluous to this rather daft story; except, that is, for Mantan Moreland - their servant "Jeff", who has all the best lines and plenty of charm as they plod along towards the film's obvious, extremely low budget, conclusion.

Mantan Moreland really shines in this movie. He was a great character actor, and he had a LOT of screen time in King Of The Zombies. He wasn't a supporting character in King Of The Zombies; his part was equal among the main players and his name shared equal billing in the opening credits. Forget what others say about racial stereotyping and enjoy his performance. The man worked with what he was given and took it to as much of a polished performance as possible. Blame Hollywood, not the actor, if you don't like his performance. His takes and reactions were superb. Smiley Burnette and Lou Costello did the same thing in "scary" situations, but Mantan Moreland had a flair for the comedy take that set him apart. He really was great on screen.King Of The Zombies itself is not the best for a mystery/adventure movie from the time period, but it has the right feel for the time period if you like old movies. All the right elements are there for a fun movie. Why it doesn't really work better is a mystery. Don't expect too much and you will have a good time watching this one.
