HAUNTS OF THE VERY RICH (1972) – Never Ending Hell on Earth
A cadre of well off individuals are transported by plane to what turns out to be anything but an island paradise. We soon learn that these folks are a troubled lot. We are eventually introduced to each character's particular emotional baggage and then it is revealed that each may have met with a fatal accident.
Wait! We are apparently watching living, breathing people who are trying to figure out where they are stranded and why fate seems to be drawing a dark curtain over their circumstances. Are they in limbo?
In fact, their dilapidated island resort becomes a purgatory from which there is no escape.
Cast includes Lloyd Bridges as a hapless lothario, Ed Asner as a pissed off businessman and Cloris Leachman as Bridge's latest love interest who find themselves wrapped in an unanswerable riddle.
Fine 1970's TV movie fare.
