Smuggler's Island is a 1951 American Technicolor film noir adventure film directed by Edward Ludwig starring Jeff Chandler and Evelyn Keyes
Chandler called the film one of his favourites because "I played myself".[2] Around this time Chandler typically played characters of varying nationalities from different historical periods; this was a rare opportunity for him to play a contemporary American.
"This is the most conscious effort made so far to sell the Chandler personality per se", he said.[3] "Just plain Jeff Chandler – a nondescript American down on his luck.[4] Filming started in June 1950.[5]
