The series was sure-fire and performed well at the box office for seven years, despite a conspicuous absence of commen-dation by the critics. From the first film, JUNGLE JIM, to the last, DEVIL GOD-DESS, the series was noted for its in-credible plots and rousing action scenes, aimed primarily at juvenile audiences. Most efforts had Jungle Jim helping some Columbia Pictures heroine in distress (a lady scientist seeking a rare drug, a WAC captain lost in the jungle, etc.) and getting tangled up with hostile natives, voodoo curses, and nefarious villains (often all three at once). In the last three films of the series (CANNIBAL ATTACK, JUNGLE MOON MEN, DEVIL GODDESS) the name Jungle Jim was dropped and Weiss-muller played himself, but the format re-mained the same, with Johnny's ever-faith-ful chimpanzee friend Tamba at his side. Perhaps the highlight of the series was CAPTIVE GIRL, an average entry which had the distinction of Buster Crabbe, whose career paralleled Weissmuller's in many ways, as the villain. 73m.

1107z. JUNGLE JIM:
"Tarzan with clothes on" J. Weissmuller
Jungle Jim When athletic Johnny Weiss-
muller left the Tarzan series after sixteen
years in the role, enterprising producer
Sam Katzman proposed a new series that
would enable the more mature but still
rugged star to cavort in familiar surround-
ings. It was Jungle Jim, presold to an
anxious audience via a successful comic
strip and radio show. One critic accurately
summed it up as "Tarzan with clothes on."
The series was sure-fire and performed
well at the box office for seven years,
despite a conspicuous absence of commen-
dation by the critics. From the first film,
JUNGLE JIM, to the last, DEVIL GOD-
DESS, the series was noted for its in-
credible plots and rousing action scenes,
aimed primarily at juvenile audiences.
Most efforts had Jungle Jim helping some
Columbia Pictures heroine in distress (a
lady scientist seeking a rare drug, a WAC
captain lost in the jungle, etc.) and getting
tangled up with hostile natives, voodoo
curses, and nefarious villains (often all
three at once). In the last three films of the
series (CANNIBAL ATTACK, JUNGLE
MOON MEN, DEVIL GODDESS) the
name Jungle Jim was dropped and Weiss-
muller played himself, but the format re-
mained the same, with Johnny's ever-faith-
ful chimpanzee friend Tamba at his side.
Perhaps the highlight of the series was
CAPTIVE GIRL, an average entry which
had the distinction of Buster Crabbe, whose
career paralleled Weissmuller's in many
ways, as the villain.
