best of the movie serials
Review date: 2008-08-30 Rating: 10 out of 10
I can't remember these serials first time round cos I'm in my 40s but have been watching a lot of these in last couple of years and can guarantee that Jungle Girl is def the best i have seen so far- it is the only one i would award 5stars (The Tiger Woman & Adventures of Captain Marvel 4stars)-Frances Gifford is gorgeous-Tom Neal is a handsome hero(checkout his real life story-what a soap opera!)-print quality is superb- was sad when it finished & will def watch it again!

One of the best of the chapterplays
Review date: 2007-04-19 Rating: 8 out of 10
Admittedly, I'm only halfway through this as I write, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the over-all quality of this jungle-based adventure. "Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jungle Girl" says the title card, though I'd never heard of "Nyoka" prior to this serial, the film-making is pretty slick for a serial, directed by the killer-team of Whitney & English (who really was English, apparently). And Frances Gifford makes a fresh-faced and amazingly modern-looking heroine.
I've been trawling around on Amazon to track down as many of these chapterplays as there are available and confidently vote Jungle Girl as one of the best both in movie quality and in DVD transfer (Lost Kingdom is one of the worst on both counts!).
If you love serials or are interested is seeing one, make sure you track down Captain Marvel and King of the Rocket-Men - but start at the top of the heap ... Jungle Girl!
