Jungle rubbish

Jungle Manhunt (1951)

Directed by Lew Landers this film in the “Jungle Jim” series stars Johnny Weissmuller, Bob Waterfield, Shelia Ryan and Rick Vallin. An expert jungle guide helps a woman reporter hunt for a missing American and investigates strange attacks on the local tribes.

As you might expect this film is filed with ugly stereotypes and a fair amount of white actors “blacked up”. The plot is paper thin and barely has any character development as the film runs just over an hour long. If you can get past all those problems you still have the wooden acting of the lead actor to contend with.


1/5
