Since I've decided to reach an alternate universe through insomnia (where Jake, Corky, Louie, Sarah, Jack & co. are alive and kickin'), I can research your question at 3:30am! lol...
I think the movie you're thinking about came out in 1961, and it was called "The Devil at 4 O'Clock" (not 1). Supposedly it's the story about a priest who gets stuck on a deserted isle with criminals and a live volcano. Hmm...Set up for a Gold Monkey episode, sounds like!
But the original carbon copy for Gold Monkey was "Angels" (Angels & Devils...interesting coincidence, or Monty Python skit?? Ah, well. What do you expect for 3:30am!)
;-)
: Robin, I somehow happened to come across a note I had written when I read some of the early postings on the Gold Monkey website, and someone said that the Gold Monkey set (the bar, church, etc.) were based on the exact blueprints of the set used on the movie "Devil At Four O'Clock" staring Spencer Tracy and Frank Sinatra!!!
: So now I'm wondering which movie Gold Monkey is based on? Is the set based on "Devil.." and the story based on "Only Angels..."??? If so, what an incredible coincidence!! Ha!! But seriously, do you know the facts here about this? I'm not as knowledable of Gold Monkeys "roots", but very interested.
