Highly Overrated But Still Good
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I saw a film of this title way back in the 50s - one of those supporting 'B' movies. I have never seen it again nor have I seen it advertised, so I don't even know whether it is still in existence. I seem to remember that the action took place in the South American jungle, where a party of intrepid hunters/adventurers/soldiers of fortune, had to battle the elements, disease, dangerous animals etc, the worst danger being possible attacks by fierce native tribesmen, who donned jaguar skins - including the claws - and ripped their enemies to pieces. Just as well this movie was in b/w! I well remember the fatal claw marks across people's chests. I didn't remember Sabu in the film I saw, but then the old memory is very hazy now. There is a 1957 film of the same name, but that is only a short. I remember being terrified by this film, which gave me nightmares at the age of eleven.
