VCI Entertainment and Republic Pictures present Edgar Rice Burroughs "Jungle Girl" (1941) (digitally remastered), 15 Chapters of vintage serial loaded with action sequences...with his infant daughter Nyoka, Dr. John Meredith lives in the African Jungle trying to help the local natives of the Masamba tribes...the tribe owns diamond mines and a gang of thugs is itching to take it away with the help of Shamba the witch doctor who very much dislikes Dr. Meredith...thus enters Slick Latimer who shoots Dr. Meredith in back...the evil twin brother Bradley Meredith who is Latimer's partner takes his brothers place...Jack Stanton and his sidekick Curley come to the aid of Nyoka whenever the 15 chapters need them...can Nyoka and native boy Wakimbu keep the evil native chief Shamba from their gasoline supply for their airplane from being sabotaged...there is a great deal of entertainment here for the cliffhanger fans out there.
Under director's John English and William Witney with screenplay by Alfred Batson, Ronald Davidson, Joseph O'Donnell, William Lively, Norman S. Hall, Joseph F. Poland and novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs...the cast include Frances Gifford (Nyoka Meredith), Tom Neal (Jack Stanton), Trevor Bardette (Dr. John Meredith/Bradley Meredith), Gerald Mohr (Slick Latimer), Eddie Acuff (Curly Rogers), Frank Lackteen (Shamba), Tommy Cook (Kimbu) ...another great serial provided by Republic Pictures during their heyday in the early '40s.. this serial is one of the best...stuntwork is outstanding with Helen Thurston doubling for Frances Gifford pulls off some really convincing acrobatic vine swinging and watch for David Sharpe who is doubling for all the fight scenes and then some.
