MISTRESS OF THE APES 1979 (DVD-R)

What an experience.

A woman, played by Jenny Neumann goes into the jungle looking for her missing husband and finds a race of primitive cavemen. She decides to stay with them as they are better company than other men.

Larry Buchanan directed this mess, and I generally like his movies because they are very odd, but this one takes the cake. Neumann and co-stars Barbara Leigh are very hot and always good to look at, but that is the only thing this movie has going for it.

Besides being surprised that Leigh would be doing a Buchanan film, I was also pleased to see Stuart Lancaster as a poacher. All in all this is a mess and while it held my interest for a while, it eventually lost out to other things. If you're a Buchanan completest, see the film, if not stay away.

One more word of warning....be aware of the theme song entitled "Mistress of The Apes". My ears are still bleeding and I am still laughing.
