Jungle Man-Eaters

1954 film


Jungle Man-Eaters is a 1954 American adventure film directed by Lee Sholem starring Johnny Weissmuller, Karin Booth and Richard Stapley. It was the last official Jungle Jim movie after Screen Gems bought the rights to make a TV series based on the character (which also starred Weissmuller). With only three movies on his contract remaining, Weissmuller used them wisely by just playing himself, but the format stayed the same.[1][2] Despite the title, there are no Jungle Man-Eaters shown in the film.
