Plot summary
The documentary gathers several people who were part of the making of The Island of Dr. Moreau to describe how the production was assembled and what went on during the shoot. Richard Stanley worked on the script for years and was brought onto the project early, developing his own version of H. G. Wells's novel before the film reached the screen. Those interviewed discuss the repeated changes to the screenplay and the problems that arose for the cast and crew. They also talk about Stanley's plans for the story and the actor he wanted for the lead role of Edward Douglas.
