Gilligan's Island: The Return of Wrongway Feldman

No longer as primitive as can be.

B-

As the title indicates, Feldman returns, this time trying to escape from civilization.  When the castaways pretend that they're going to "civilize" their island, he flies away, this time landing on an island where he's fawned over by native girls.  Note, this is the second episode where Mary Ann mentions her mother.  I'd always thought she was an orphan raised by her aunt and uncle (like Dorothy Gale).  Co-written by Lawrence J. Cohen and Fred Freeman, who did Feldman's previous episode, the director's is also a double credit, but I suspect the Lupino scenes are the ones recycled from before, while this is Gene Nelson's only GI credit.
