Catchy title belies the meagre production values and soap opera rendition concerning a woman (Morison) searching for her missing fiancé (Edwards) in the unforgiving jungles of Africa. A stern voice-over narrates the picture as the actors recount their experiences through flashback, which amount to piles upon piles of stock footage. There's a few well-orchestrated animal attacks (tiger, lion) and some sexual tension between leading man Lowery and Morison, while an elusive Amazonian woman (Moustafa) and the hunt for a murderous ivory smuggler spices up the adventure.
Kudos to the animal wranglers who've done a pretty decent job with their charges, while the leads Morison and action-man Lowery, acquit their roles with melodramatic intensity. Undistinguished cast otherwise features familiar names Darby Jones in a bit part as a native chief, and Cay Forester as a leopard-skin bikini-clad maid to Moustafa, a very 'westernised' jungle monarch, but it must be acknowledged, not an especially fluent actress.
Typical jungle frolic is a spear-chucking success on a B-grade scale, and while nothing too serious, possibly earns a cult credit or two for its absurd hokum, gloriously typified by its banal closing line "wild lifestyle? .. ha, you should see our nightclubs". Cut and print.
