JUNGLE MAN 1941 (SINISTER CINEMA)

Also known as "Drums Of Africa".

Buster Crabbe stars in this PRC jungle epic. A small group of people decide to explore Africa and see if they can find the fabled "City Of The Dead".

The expedition must face hostile natives, wild animals and much more. They come upon a young doctor working on a cure for a mysterious epidemic that is killing the natives.

Crabbe is Robert Hammond, the young doctor who falls for a young lady named Betty (Sheila Darcy) who is part of the expedition. She stays behind while her boyfriend and her father travel the rest of the way to the "City Of The Dead".

The plot of this movie is really all over the place and sometimes it's hard to follow, but I still had fun with it. Yes, it's a PRC film and very low budget and the print is splicey in spots, but if you like these kinds of movies as I do, it will not deter.

The rest of the cast includes Charles Middleton, Vince Barnett and Robert Carson.
