102 A Game of Death ( 1945 )
This is a re-make of the earlier picture The Most Dangerous Game on Earth and slavishly follows the original except that the intervening Production Code meant that Audrey Long was less scantily-clad than Fay Wray in the original.
John Loder plays Don Rainsford, a famous hunter shipwrecked by the machinations of an evil psychopath, Kreiger ( Edgar Barrier ) who enjoys hunting human prey. Rainsford works with a captive young woman and her brother to defeat him.
There's no reason to prefer this to the original.
Audrey Long ( as Ellen Trowbridge )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Audrey was a successful B-movie actress. She retired in 1952 on marriage to the writer Leslie Charteris and accompanied him around the world. She died in 2014 aged 92.
