Mystery Island is a 1937 Australian film shot almost entirely on location near Lord Howe Island.[1]. It stars Brian Abbot and Desmond Hay, who sailed back to the mainland together after filming in a 16-foot open boat and were never heard of again.[2]
The female lead, Jean Laidley (real name Jean Mort), was great-granddaughter of Thomas Sutcliffe Mort.
