Featured review
Watch this one for the incredible Clyde Beatty
The Lost Jungle is one of the more intriguing adventure films of the 30's. Not for its plot – it's extremely average with nothing of interest. No, what makes this one stand out are the animal scenes. Real life animal trainer Clyde Beatty plays himself and he gets in the cage with lions, tigers, leopards and bears and gets them to obey him. A seriously impressive feat when you see how damn scary and dangerous these creatures look. Beatty seems to have been an extraordinary talent and with balls of steel. All of the animal sequences in the film are great. Several don't involve Beatty at all, such as an attack by hyenas and a very aggressive fight between a lion and a tiger. The latter is just something you will never likely see again. I'm pretty sure most of the animal material in this movie would not be 100% legal these days and would breach animal cruelty legislation. But this is a time capsule movie and it is admittedly fascinating to see.
The film fades somewhat once the adventure part of the story kicks in. It just cannot compete with Beatty and the wild animals. But for what it's worth it was edited down to feature length from a serial and it is about a legendary island called Kamor where lions and tigers naturally co-exist. A party including Beatty's girlfriend crash lands there and he organises a group to go and rescue them. This side of the film has a lot of the usual staples these old adventure flicks rely on but it's by-the-numbers stuff. The real draw of this one is the incredible animal footage.
