No taste

Jungle Man-Eaters (1954)

Directed by Lee Sholem this film in the Jungle Jim series stars Johnny Weissmuller, Karin Booth, Richard Wyler and Bernie Hamilton. Our jungle expert helps protect a tribe against a man that wants to smuggle diamonds.

Much of the plot here is fairly simplistic and the short run time does not allow for much depth. There is the same suspect stereotypes and despite the title there are actually no cannibals in the story at all. Unlike the last film in the series I saw there is no blacking up at least but does not make this a much better film.


2/5
