Five Came Back (1939)

Twelve people are aboard Coast Airline's flagship the Silver Queen enroute to South America when the airplane encounters a storm and is blown off course. Crashing into jungles known to be inhabited by head hunters, pilots Bill and Joe race against time to fix the engines and attempt a take off. The situation brings out the best and worst in the stranded dozen as they create a makeshift runway and prepare to escape before the natives attack. But damage to the plane and low fuel reserves means that only 5 people can be carried to safety.

Five Came Back was a low-budget black-and-white disaster film that was snappily paced and the narrative by Dalto Trumbo, Jerome Cady and Nathanael West was tight. It's based on a story by Richard Carroll. The public richly supported it at the box office. The plot has by now become all too familiar about a passenger airplane crash in hostile territory and how the clichÃ© characters handle their misfortune, but back in the day it was still fresh. There's also the beautiful moody noirish photography of the jungle by Nicholas Musuraca that adds to the chilling atmosphere.

Predictable (as if the title wasn't any indication of what happens) but entertaining. Standard stranded survivors fare. Lucille Ball plays a Crawford-esque 'round-the-block girl with a heart of gold. And headhunters!

In many ways, the film can be seen as a precursor to the modern disaster flicks that had their heyday in the 1970s, and then another one in the '90s.

guess what? only 5 come back - surprise... but this is an entertaining movie nevertheless. for me it was the first and only time i've seen lucille ball in a dramatic role! the running time is just over an hour so the story isn't really dragged out. it reminded me of the tv show LOST for some reason...
