Jungle Woman (1944)
2/10
Return Of Paula!
21 June 2020
Acquanetta returns to play Paula Dupree(the Ape Woman) in this sequel, which sees her restored to life(after having been shot by a policeman before) by kindly scientist Dr. Carl Fletcher(J. Carrol Naish) who keeps her at his sanitarium in order to study and educate her, but is alarmed when she not only learns to speak, but again shows romantic interest in the male lead, who is engaged to his daughter, so of course that must be stopped...

Equally absurd sequel is of course utterly unnecessary, though does work in a wacky way as a post-script to the first, the picture(directed by Reginald Le Borg) is overly talky and static, done with no style or atmosphere, though once again Acquanetta does have an undeniable allure about her, she is given nothing to work with. Also wastes top-billed Evelyn Ankers and Millburn Stone, who briefly return here at the inquest.
