This is a 29" x 43" Argentine duotone undated rerelease poster for the
1932 Erle C. Kenton film Island of Lost Souls based on the 1896
H.G. Wells novel The Island of Dr. Moreau, screenplay by
Waldemar Young and Philip Wylie and starring Charles Laughton as
Dr. Moreau. Plot summary: Edward Parker [Richard Arlen] has been
shipwrecked. He is picked up by a freighter on its way to a remote
South Sea island with a shipment of animals. After a dispute the
freighter's captain tosses Parker onto a boat owned by Montgomery
[Arthur Hohl] and Dr. Moreau, who owns the island. After reaching the
island Parker witnesses Dr. Moreau conducting a strange surgical
procedure without anesthesia and decides to leave, but is headed off
by a group of beast-men men emerging from the jungle. Dr. Moreau
tells Parker that Lota [Kathleen Burke], a native woman Parker meets
in a controlled encounter, is the only woman on the island; Moreau
does not mention he has created Lota from from a panther. He
considers Lota his most nearly perfect creation and is pleased to see
her becoming more like a real human because of her attraction to
Parker. To make sure Parker does not go away, Moreau destroys the
boat on which he was to have left the island. Ruth Thomas [Leila
Hyams], Parker's fiancee, learns his whereabouts from the freighter
captain and sets out to find him on the island with the help of
Captain Donahue [Paul Hurst].
