Movie Reviews of The Naked Jungle

Movie Review: Better than a Bite in the Eye from a Marabunta
Summary: 2 Stars

My parents took me to see this movie when I was six years old. For most of my life, I had vague recollections of people being horrifically devoured by ants in it, and I always wondered why my parents would want to see such a movie, much less take me along. So one day I searched around and found the movie as well as the short story that goes with it.

After all those years, the flick was a disappointment. It's scary only to six-year-olds. As to the plot... it was very fifties, an era when psychiatry was taken seriously, and all human behavior was readily explainable as repressed homosexuality (which was known to cause any sort of behavior).

My mother was undoubtedly the person who wanted to see Naked Jungle. She adored.. uh... strong male leads, and Charlton Heston is doing his very best Marlon Brando imitation in this one - an effort that nevertheless falls short. (Heston couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.)

The story on which the film is based, Leningen Versus the Ants, is very nice. Read that and skip this nonsense. It's only slightly better than a bite in the eye from a Marabunta.

Summary of The Naked Jungle

In THE NAKED JUNGLE, Charlton Heston plays the powerful, brooding owner of a plantation in the wild and treacherous South American jungle, while Eleanor Parker plays his charming American mail order bride. He is wary of this beautiful and talented woman, and wonders why she would leave America for the rigors of jungle life. But with the advance of relentless killer ants making their way across the jungle, the two find their relationship changing as they fight to save the jungle.
