Synopsis by Hal Erickson
David is played by Geoffrey Webb, while Jonathan is portrayed by Richard Ryan. Pals since childhood (as shown in a lengthy prologue), David and Jonathan have a falling out over beautiful Madge Titheradge. When all three a shipwrecked on a desert island, the fun really begins, if that's your idea of fun. David and Jonathan was based on a novel by E. Temple Thurston. Though officially a British film, it was shot in a Hollywood studio--a rare early example of an international coproduction.
