Interesting facts
Fog Island is a 1945 American mystery-suspense film directed by Terry O. Morse. The film stars B movie horror film regulars George Zucco and Lionel Atwill. It was based on the 1937 play Angel Island by Bernadine "Bernie" Angus.
Production
The rights to the play on which the film was based had been sold by The New York World-Telegram for $30,000. But, this is highly suspect as it became a PRC Release and the studio would only give less than $200 to writers for the final script. The film's sets were designed by the art director Paul Palmentola.
