Krakatoa, East of Java, that had the unfortunate fate of being known more for the fact Krakatoa is
West of Java, an error more well remembered than the movie, itself; the error was such an embarrassment to the film studio that years later when they re-released the movie, the title was changed to simply,
The Volcano...
