I just watched this film on my computer at work (on my lunch break). What I find amazing is how a whole movie could be constructed around some African safari stock footage and still be entertaining in a junky way. The 1940's stock character actors do their best to put the plot across and for me it works as a grade B campfest. The men are either handsome and stalwart or older and rather dithering and the women look great in that 1940's glamor sort of way. I love that all the jungle amazons look like they stepped out of a Hollywood beauty parlor in full make up. The action scenes are hilariously hokey and you'll have fun pointing out the mistakes in continuity. As the way to pass an hour I prefer this kind of fun trash to some TV reality show or CSI Wherever.
Obrigado pela postagem.
I saw this film on the science fiction classics DVD set, but knew that there would likely not be much science fictional in it -- after noting that it also contains "prehysterical" women or the Sons of Hercules films. There was a "bugologist" and some lessons in anthropology, which were quite fictional, even some unexpected dancing and poetry. It was fun, if like me you happen to like these kind of movies with corny, old-fashion, happy endings -- especially after a hard day's work thinking. The monkey and the raven did seem to be the most interesting actors, especially the monkey.
There is even a serious side. It certainly reminds one of how things have changed since then in that then it was against the law to sell ivory without giving the colonial power its cut, while now it's supposedly illegal to do so to anyone at all.
A woman tries to locate her fiance who is missing somewhere in the jungle.
This is a movie to make strong men go slack jawed and wide eyed. At least half its running time is stock footage only some of which matches the studio shot footage (or even other bits of stock footage). The narration is so out of touch with reality as to make one wonder was the author in on the script meetings. Its truly an amazing film.
To give you an idea, the film begins with the search starting in India, for no logical reason. It then switches to Africa and goes on from there, where bits of plot from India come into play, like the native uprising in India affecting the natives in the African Jungle, or the shadowy presence trying to stop the search.
At least it moves. There's good action, and the actors are game if nothing else.
Is it worth watching?
Yes. The film at least is trying to do something for its running time. Inept film making aside the only flaw is a long passage toward the end where its just people talking. It doesn't last long and before long there's a great big fight.
On the purely enjoyable scale I give it seven out of ten.Perfect for a rainy day when you want to laugh at something.
Typically B movie but fun with Patricia Morison.
Several small stories or scenarios stung together with old 1946 African native footage tossed in as filler. However, on the safari, there is a real mystery. And as always it is the last person you would suspect if it was a person.
Jean Preston (Patricia Morison) has traced her betrothed (since childhood) to Africa. She is accompanied by her potential father-in-law, his bug loving friend, and a person that considers himself a substitute should they fine the betrothed has met his demise.
Now they need a guide. You guessed it the guide (Robert Lowery) thinks women have no place there. She must convince him of her skills. Meantime it looks like the betrothed was on a mission to find ivory poachers when he disappeared. And the new guide must pick up the trail. Naturally, they will need a cook and a bunch of natives. Then there are the stories of a white queen (Amira Moustafa) who captures betroths and bumps off intruders.
So, will they be able to pass by locust plagues, man-eating lions, a mysterious curse, and those lonely, long sultry African nights alone in the bush?
This is an ultra-daft stock footage fest that reminded me much of Bruno Mattei's Zombie Creeping Flesh. Also, there a large amount of sexism, racism, animal cruelty and violence. So you can see why I was reminded of an Italian exploitations film.
Some lady who travels where the stock footage comes from is looking for her fiancé, first starting in India (where we see elephants fighting each other) and then moving on to Africa, where she gets word that her man is being held captive by a white Queen.
Also along for the ride are the guy's dad, some scientist, another guy and the cook. This is also where a bit of murder mystery comes into play unless you actually look at the DVD cover which spoils everything.
No matter because the plot is pointless. You know how these adventure films go,right? This one is overflowing with stock footage (rather hilariously...well until they show a lion being hunted down and killed), chicks who stand around watching people fight, subservient black people, really bad stunt doubles, and are rather out of date sub-plot about making sure the ivory trade is legit! I'm always glad to watch a film that depicts mankind's struggle to empty the African plains of wildlife.
