"You first cousin to a baboon, you!"
7 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Another Jungle Jim film with two plot strands that come together. One, an American reporter Anne Lawrence is searching for a downed air pilot Bob Miller who was a famous US football player. Two. a mad doctor heads a warlike tribe and uses them to capture men to work in his underground mine that manufactures synthetic diamonds. A lively enough film with men in skeleton suits, burning villages, 100 foot lizards, battling natives and a fight between a shark and an octopus. Jungle Jim sorts it all out in the end.

Johnny Weissmuller as Jim strolls jauntily through his role. Real life football player Robert Waterfield plays the lost football player Bob Miller and prolific actor Lyle Talbot plays the villainous Dr. Heller but they are not very interesting. Better value is sassy Sheila Ryan as the intrepid reporter and of course Tamba the chimp playing himself. One of the better Jungle Jim films.
