She&#039;s also good in ISLAND IN THE SUN, a 1957 soapy piece of a melodrama, featuring Dandridge in a cast including James Mason, Joan Fontaine, Harry Belafonte, Joan Collins, Stephen Boyd, Michael Rennie, and Diana Wynyard to name a few. Her role isn&#039;t too big this time around as she plays &quot;an exciting and alluring West Indian&quot; (as the movie trailer describes her) who falls in love with a white governor&#039;s aid played by John Justin. It&#039;s a beautiful, semi-cluttered slice of a movie that I happen to enjoy. You&#039;ll like it too, especially if you like those glossy Old Hollywood melodramas with many a star stuffed in for good measure.
