Zanuck's Island in the Sun, the 1957 Robert Rossen Caribbean interracial romance romantic tropical island melodrama ("The people, the events of the international best-seller are on the screen!"; "The place is the West Indies... where the sun hides many things!"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; with screenplay by Alfred Hayes; based on the novel by Alec Waugh) starring James Mason, Joan Fontaine, Dorothy Dandridge, Joan Collins, Michael Rennie, Harry Belafonte ("as Boyeur"; the singer in his third movie role!), Diana Wynyard, John Williams, Stephen Boyd, Basil Sydney, and Patricia Owens. Note that this movie contained an interracial kiss, which sadly caused quite a stir (a decade later, a similar kiss between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols was still causing controversy, a sad commentary on America's view toward race relations in the 1950s and 1960s).

Important Added Info: Note that it is extremely likely that these are "key book" stills, and it is virtually a certainty that the punch holes were put there by the studio at the time the stills were created, so they are not a defect. These wardrobe test stills have a visible clapboard in the image that gives the details about the movie. The studios would use these images for reference if they needed to shoot additional footage at a later time. Condition: very good. There are some punch holes in one edge of the stills. They are either keybook stills, or someone could have just put those punch holes there, however, since these are wardrobe test stills it is much more likely that they are keybook stills (see above).
