In a conversation with his friend Phil Tucker , Allen spoke of a 1945 film – “The Game of Death”.
The film itself lists as RKO “A Game of Death” , directed by Robert Wise , starring John Loder and Audrey Long, Edgar Barrier played the Zaroff character General Kreigner.
Johnny Allegto , later in 1946 , used elements indeed of this story. In 1956 “Run for the Sun” starred Richard Widmark , Jane Greer and Trevor Howard , was set on a jungle plantation rather than an island. In 1961 came “Bloodlust” another variation. Colonel Wilde’s “The Naked Prey ” showed five years later.
Thus the theme itself run deep in man – the very nature of the philosphosical questiions of good and evil – evil and good , power over man.
In a way its all similar to Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness being remade and recast again and again – whether as an original Greek drama or as in the film “Apocalypse Now”
