REAR COVER OF DVD TERROR OF THE BLOODHUNTERS (1962) (Black and White) Robert Clarke, Dorothy Haney, Robert Christopher, Steye Conte Which is worse, the brutality of Devil's Island or the terrors of the Amazon jungle?, Artist Steven Duval (Robert Clarke) is faced with this choice when his writings cause him to be railroaded to the legendary penal colony. Helped by the prison commandant's daughter (who just happens to be a fan of his writings and political philosophies), Duval and his friend make a break for freedom. But their plans go wrong and the only chance the trio has is to fight their way through the deadly jungle to Brazil and freedom. But will they survive the perils of the jungle? Savage animals and, even worse, deadly Jivaro headhunters? Or will a pursuing prison captain, who just happens to be in love with the heroine, end their flight for freedom? One of the few "original" features from the (in)famous schlock-meister Jerry Warren before he specialized in re-editing foreign features to create "new" horror films. LIANE, JUNGLE GODDESS Liane, Jungle Goddess (German Liane, das Mädchen aus dem Urwald) is a 1956 West German film directed by Eduard von Borsody. It was based on the 1956 novel Liane, das Mädchen aus dem Urwald by Anne Day-Helveg. The film attracted considerable attention due to Marion Michael appearing topless. During a German expedition in Africa, Thoren is attacked and captured by the native Botos. Before they can kill him, a long-haired, topless wild woman convinces the Botos to let him go. Thoren becomes fascinated with the woman and enlists Kersten and Keller to capture her. Meanwhile, in Germany, shipping tycoon Theo Amelongen and his nephew Viktor see an article about the wild woman that was found and Theo suspects that it might be his long-lost granddaughter Liane, who went missing 18 years ago when the ship she and her parents were on went down. Theo sails to Africa and Thoren takes Liane with him and Jacqueline. Liane's tribesman friend Tanga sneaking onto the ship with Liane's pet lion, Simba. When the group ends up at Theo's house, Viktor discovers that Liane will be inheriting the fortune. Viktor hires one of the survivors of the ship Imperia sinking and asks him to testify that he had no survivors. When the attorney arrives with Viktor, they find Theo dead in his study. The police are called in and it is revealed that Viktor was responsible for his uncle's death. Viktor then gets into his car as Thoren and the police pursue him. The car chase goes down the street until Viktor ends up driving off the bridge to his death. Liane inherits the Amelongen fortune and heads back to Africa to visit the Danner expedition. REAR COVER OF DVD LIANE, JUNGLE GODDESS (1956) (U.S. release 1959) (Color) Marion Michael, Hardy Kruger, Rudolph Forster, Irene Galter, Peter Mosbacher An expedition into the African jungle (German movie style) makes an astonishing discovery. She's free as a breeze, she's always at ease as she swings from the trees, she's a goddess to the native tribe, she doesn't wear much. All this and she's 16! The expedition believes that Liane (Marion Michael) is an industrial tycoon's long-lost granddaughter. Sure enough, they take her back to civilization and trouble. While hero Hardy Kruger tries to civilize her and eventually falls for her unspoiled charms, a scheming relative plots to get rid of her (hey, if she proves to be the old man's grand-daughter, he's out of the will. It may sound like good old b-pic-ture adventure, but how many films of this type had a beautiful heroine who wore next-to-nothing in her jungle home except beads, long flowing hair and sometimes a strategically-held lion cub (for the sake of some modesty). Leave it to the Europeans to come up with a jungle heroine that was definitely not for the kiddies and a hot item in its day. It also inspired two sequels and a TV movie in Germany. Jawhol, Bwana!
