"Well my simian friend, a fine guide you turned out to be"

Warning: Spoilers
There's a lot going on in this Jungle Jim adventure. An attractive anthropologist Dr. Linda Roberts wants to go to the valley of the giant people. Denise and 'Doc' Edwards want to acquire loads of illegal elephant ivory. Two giants have been captured but they only want to go home. Jungle Jim fights with a hippo and a black panther before being pumped with a truth serum. Tamba the chimp is helpful some of the time. Commissioner Kingston is confused. Not to mention scores of monkeys and elephants. A busy film that keeps ones' attention.

The actors are rather mundane though and Johnny Weissmuller as Jungle Jim is a bit more wooden than usual. Jean Willes as the villainous Denise comes off best and her demise is rather satisfying. The giant people themselves are rather endearing with furry clothes that look a little moth eaten. Like the film really, endearing and a bit moth eaten.
