MAN EATER 1957 (SINISTER CINEMA)

This is a rare little film edited together from 2 episodes of the TV series "White Hunter".

Rhodes Reason is John Hunter and he leads safari trips into the jungle. His newest customers are Betty Latham (Magda Miller and her husband George (Lee Patterson.

Their marriage is on the rocks because of George's drinking and they figure this trip might be what they need to patch up their relationship.

The trip has many adventures but George and Betty are still far apart and she begins to throw herself at John. Things seem to get better when George quits drinking after he almost loses his life to a dangerous snake. In the end he saves Betty from a man eating lion.

It's a pretty standard jungle adventure I had never heard of and I couldn't find much written about it anywhere. Nothing special, but if you like nostalgia TV you mght want to check this out.
