You have got to hand it to Talking Pictures, they unearth and show films that would never see the light of day again – I have a feeling that this is a good example.

In The Lost Lagoon, Charlie Walker is a hard-working man with a lot of responsibilities but when he is washed overboard in a storm and is washed up in the Bahamas, he comes to realise that he no longer likes his old life and disappears to a new life as a hotel manager with pretty, young Liz Moore. They fall in love and the hotel becomes successful, life seems idyllic

LOST LAGOON is a mixture of Caribbean romance and melodrama. When he is washed up on the island, Jeffrey Lynn is nursed back to health by the small island’s population, including Liz Moore

Leila Barry – in her only film tole as Liz Moore looks quite beautiful

Jeffrey Lynn as Charlie, gives a fine performance, full of melancholia and soul searching and because of this the film is a better-than-average effort although it did have a quite meagre budget.

Unfortunately, later in the film we come to learn that his life insurance requires proof of death, and so in comes a curious insurance adjuster c (Peter Donat) looking for that proof.

The script is credited to Mr. Lynn and director John Rawlins

“Lost Lagoon” is a very low-budget film that still is very much worth seeing – it does very well considering the money available to make it.

Apparently this is the only production by Bermuda Studio Production and the leading lady never appeared in another film – nor can I find out any more about her after this. A pity – she looked so good.
