Female Jungle (1955)
5/10
Definitely not a B-movie ... more like a DoubleD-movie.

Despite the title, don't expect Sheena, or even a bunch of juvenile babes running wild. This is a 70-minute mystery, with Lawrence Tierney as a drunk cop who is found near the scene of a murdered blonde. Since he can't remember much, he considers himself a suspect. Other characters include Kathleen Crowley as the wife of a caricaturist, played by Burt Kaiser. Kaiser also produced, and wrote the story, but does not seem to have had much of a career in films. John Carradine plays an unusual role (even for him) as a columnist. Of course, the main attraction is a young Jayne Mansfield, who elevates both the movie and the male actors. Worth a look.
