Into a typical the marooned are cast several interesting atypical ingredients:

1. For a start, an elderly gruff rough-around-the-edges pilot of a hired plane flies a disagreeable skeptical uppish young woman--unlikely pair to fall in love--who eventually, after a series of exciting brushes with dangerous situatious, is transformed into a lover in spite of being engaged to be married to someone else .
2. They were being attacked by a bunch of pirates and their back-to-wall efforts to save themselves.
3. A couple of instances of ingenious methods to survive: like killing a peacock for food, camouflaged as an innocuous tree, or picking up the remains of WWII Japanese fighter plane and making good their escape from the island.
4. The woman companion taking over the flying of the plane from the injured pilot and saving them from the pirates' fire.

All in all this movie turns out to be engaging. This is fun stuff.
