Interesting facts

Hell Ship Mutiny is a 1957 American South Seas adventure film directed by Lee Sholem and Elmo Williams starring Jon Hall who also produced and narrated the film. It is a compilation of a 1955 unsold television pilot Knight of the South Seas. Hall's father Felix Locher plays the role of a native chief.

Production

In October 1955 Jon Hall, who had just finished starring in Ramar of the Jungle, announced he would play a sea captain in a new TV series Knight of the South Seas. It would be made by his own production company, Lovina. In December Hedda Hopper reported that Hall had already shot footage in the south seas and signed his first co-star, John Carradine.

Filming started 15 December 1955 at Fox Western Avenue studios. Two episodes were filmed.

In May 1956 Hall announced the series would premiere in Tahiti, where Hall grew up.

The pilot was not picked up so Hall combined the episodes for a feature film.
