About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, pulpy adventure with romance, danger, and a cheeky pre-Code edge, especially if you like The Black Pirate; Not for you if thin plotting or dated style puts you off.
Pros: thrilling jungle action; bold pre-Code energy; lively animal set pieces | Cons: thin story; dated effects at times; old-fashioned attitudes
