Production background
The film featuring episodes from Siam, Java, and New Guinea plus an apparently fictitious encounter with cannibals on a small island in the South Pacific. Filming among the tribes in Dutch New Guinea was done by William F. Alder and Edward Laemmle, who was the nephew of Carl Laemmle, founder of Universal Studios.[2]
Reception
Under the pretense of being an educational ethnographic film, film producers have often justified exploitative elements such as half-clad natives in South Seas island documentaries. At least one educational publication, which appeared to take the film as fully authentic, suggested that this film could with review be used in schools.[3] Although Shipwrecked Among Cannibals generally received good reviews, it did not do well at the box office.[2]
Preservation status
The preservation status of this film is classified as unknown,[4] which suggests that it is a lost film.
