Clean Print & Hiss-Free Audio Leave Me Swingin!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jungle Girl (DVD)
VCI Video got ahold of a nice clean print from the UK/Irish distribution and really put together a crisp visual & no-hiss audio package here! One of the great Republic serials, Jungle Girl gets her due in this release... from the packaging to the super-affordable price (if you don't think so, shop around). Each episode is complete, from the opening music to the closing credits (and not abridged in from the "where we left off" recap at the beginnings). A nice job all the way from VCI. Time for me to go... now where'd I park my elephant??!! ;^)

Republic shines again,

This review is from: Jungle Girl (VHS Tape)
I was nine years old the first time I saw this superb serial in 1941. I fell in love for the first time with Francis Gifford. I can't say enough about this wonderful actress. Supporting her was Tom Neal who went on to fame as the guy who punched out Franchot Tone over a famous lady star. I really enjoyed the special effects and the great stunt people who added much to this, my favorite serial. I followed Francis' career till she was admitted to a California mental hospital where she died just a couple of years ago.

Frances Gifford was never better,

This review is from: Jungle Girl (VHS Tape)
I came to this serial in backward fashion. First, as a kid, I discovered the Nyoka comic books. Later, I got to see the excellent "Perils of Nyoka" which was a semi-sequel to this one (even though the Nyoka in the second serial was not only a different actress but a different character; only the name preserved the tradition). Finally, I got to see the original source for Nyoka (well, not counting the Edgar Rice Burroughs book which inspired the first serial). Gerald Mohr, whose varied career included playing Phillip Marlowe on the radio detective series, and being the voice of the masked Scorpion in "The Adventures of Captain Marvel" serial, turned in many fine villainous performances of which this was one. But Frances Gifford (who visited the jungle once more, in a later Johnny Weissmuller picture, "Tarzan Triumphs," in 1943) made a beautiful and athletic-looking Nyoka. And some of the stunt sequences, including one in which she SOMERSALTS from one vine to another, make Tarzan's vine-swinging seem anemic. Incidentally, Gifford had a female stunt double mostly, although it is true that stuntman David Sharpe did double Kay Aldridge in the second Nyoka serial.
