Poison Belt (1935) book references it as an American Sherlock Holmes film but the Doyle source book is a sequel to The Lost World, not a Holmes novel at all. Could be mistakenly referenced.

Rhythm of Africa (1960?) Book claims it was "conceived" by Jean Cocteau. I've also seen references to this being released in 1948.
The Sandal (1970) https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6cd17c15
Sada Kalo (1954) Indian film starring Gurudas Bannerjee
Shangri-La (1968?) Indian documentary about Goa
Sharks (1975) Book says it features teens getting loaded on the beach in the opening
*For Stand-Alone TV Programs and Underground Films, only films present on IMDB were included on the list as both lists included many very obscure films that I could locate little to no reference to anywhere outside this book. Given the author did much of his research at a local library in San Francisco, the possibility exists than many of the referenced films are super 8mm home movies and other amateur productions that make it difficult to determine the source of.
