Jungle Woman
Englishman Martin South (Eric Bransby Williams) is leading an expedition into the Dutch New Guinea hinterland to search for gold, being joined by George Mardyke (Jameson Thomas), who he thinks is his friend. The expedition is attacked by headhunters and Mardyke leaves Martin for dead so he can pursue the latter's fiancee, Eleanor (Lillian Douglas), the daughter of a plantation manager. Meanwhile, Martin is nursed back to health by native girl, Hurana (Grace Savieri), who falls in love with him and helps him escape from some angry natives. Hurana is bitten by a snake and dies, and Martin arrives back to civilisation in time to rescue Eleanor from Mardyke. Was partially filmed back to back on Thursday Island with 'The Hounds of The Deep'

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic adventure drama around the clash between the untamed jungle and colonial society. It relies on familiar tropes of betrayal, survival, and romantic rivalry, using the exotic setting as its primary visual appeal.
Those who tire of narrative complexity will find a straightforward, briskly paced tale of peril and redemption in a lush environment. — MovieFinder Editorial
