The French penal colony on Devil's Island was in operation from 1852-1946. Large numbers of mostly Hollywood films sere either set on the island or featured characters both real (Alfred Dreyfus and Émile Zola) and fictional (The Phantom of the Opera) who had escaped from it. The French Government took a dim view of these films and banned several of them.〔p.47 Yarbrough, Carolyn J. ''If You Only Have a Day in Devil's Island: A Place of No Return'' ''Cruise Travel'' Sep 1990〕 To avoid the usual French vprotests on films depicting Devil's Island, the producers of the 1935 film ''King of the Damned'' gave all locations Spanish names and set the film in the Caribbean.〔p.91 Slide, Anthony ''Banned in the USA: British films in the United States and Their Censorship, 1933-1960'' I.B.Tauris, 1998〕 ==Films set on Devil's Island== *''Condemned'' (1929) *''Devil's Island'' (1926) *''Devil's Island'' (1939) *''Escape from Devil's Island'' (1935) * ''Hell on Devil's Island'' (1957) *''I Escaped from Devil's Island'' (1973) *''The Life of Émile Zola'' (1937) * ''Lovers of Devil's Island'' (1974) *''Mysterious Mr. Moto'' (1938) *''Papillon'' (1975) *''Passage to Marseille'' (1944) *''Strange Cargo'' (1940) *''Terror of the Bloodhunters'' (1962) *''We're No Angels'' (1955) *''Women of Devil's Island'' (1962) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Films set on Devil's Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
