Nonureva Really Surprised!

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

zardoz-13 There is nothing savage about the jungle cutie that lip-stick wearing Rochelle Hudson plays in this publicity stunt of a movie. Contrived from start to finish, this adventure in the African jungle is low-budget hokum. A big game trapper, Jim Franklin (Walter Byron of "British Agent"), agrees to take an alcoholic millionaire, Arnold Stitch (Harry Myers of "City Lights") on a safari, so the latter can bring some beasts to stock a zoo on his sprawling estate. While Franklin is inclined to treat Stitch with something less than respect, Stitch's friends warn him that there is more to the man than appears. Together, Franklin and Stitch set sail for the dark continent. The British cabbie who delivers them at dockside observes that he has never been to Africa and that he wishes he could go. The next thing you know, they are unloading his cab and himself on the dock in Africa. Before the tipsy millionaire leaves America, he buys a box of white mice to find out if elephants are frightened of them. Once they arrive in Africa, Franklin introduces Myers to a cohort, Erich Vernuth (Adolph Milar of "The Perils of Pauline"), and they set out to lay traps. No sooner have they left civilization behind than they encounter the 'white goddess' (Rochelle Hudson of "Rebel Without A Cause") as she is petting animals in the jungle. She attracts the attention of Franklin and company when she releases the lion that they have trapped. The conflict starts when Vernuth gets fresh with 'the Girl,' and Franklin runs him off. The jealous Vernuth stirs up a tribe of headhunters, and they capture Franklin and tie him up to a stake. Stitch comes to his rescue, and Franklin whips Vernuth in a fair fight. Our eponymous heroine barely knows how to speak English, and she learns her first few words from Franklin. The miracle is that this babe could have survived as long as they did. She is dressed in a one-piece leopard outfit that doesn't look like it has spent a day in the sun, and her hair is immaculate. No, she doesn't look like she has spent a day, much less a lifetime in the jungle. If you're expecting a hellcat, you'll be disappointed. The only thing that 'the Girl' knows how to do is scream when she is attacked. Truly, she qualifies as a damsel-in-distress. I guess that I was expecting more from "Batman" director Harry Fraser and scenarist Brewster Morse. Sadly, "The Savage Girl" doesn't even deliver camp. Despite looking sexy in her outfit, 'the Girl' isn't an interesting character.

Red-Barracuda An African explorer is hired by an eccentric millionaire to capture animals for his new zoo. While in Africa he comes into contact with a white jungle goddess – the savage girl...This is an obvious female version of Tarzan. It's cheap and generic but, sadly, also pretty mundane. The savage girl herself really only saves some animals and then gets captured. She's not much of a white jungle goddess to tell you the truth; she's closer to a Dr. Who assistant in terms of general effectiveness. This, of course, is a great shame. Rochelle Hudson is foxy enough in an early-30's-what-do-you-expect kind of a way. The director Harry L. Fraser was also responsible for another terrible jungle adventure called The White Gorilla; so Harry had form in making sub-standard fare in this genre. Like that other movie, this one also features scenes with a man in a monkey suit. Although in the case of this movie, the ape-man only appears at the end for some brief action.In summary, even though I should know by now not to expect too much from Poverty Row movies, this one is still just too uneventful for its own good. When one of the best scenes involves a man trying to frighten an elephant with a mouse you know that you might have a problem.

unbrokenmetal Eccentric millionaire Stitch (Harry C. Myers) decides to go to Africa one day in order to catch a few animals for his new zoo. Since the cab driver mentions he'd love to go to Africa himself, Stitch invites him along and they go across the jungle in that taxi. Rather unique, I'd say. Along with the experienced hunter Franklyn (Walter Byron), they find the adventure they are looking for and meet the white jungle goddess (Rochelle Hudson), only to be faced with treachery and dangerous natives etc. in a life-or-death struggle."The Savage Girl" may not be on the same production level as "Tarzan the Ape Man" which was shot in the same year and featured Maureen O'Sullivan in her first appearance as Jane. However, it is still good fun and an important early predecessor for many films about jungle women that followed. Rochelle Hudson doesn't only have killer looks, but also the acting abilities to express a lot of things without words, from curiosity to anger. Unfortunately, she has to scream for help a bit too often. In later movies of the genre, jungle goddesses obtained more power over animals and men so if you said they rule the jungle, it sounded more true than in this case.

Gary Imhoff African explorer Jim Franklin is hired by perpetual drunkard and eccentric millionaire Amos P. Stitch on a whim, to capture animals to stock a private zoo on his Westchester estate. On the way to Africa they pick up a London cabbie and his cab to drive Stitch on the safari, and in Africa they hire Alex Bernouth, a German jungle guide, and Oscar, a Harlemite who wants to get back to New York.Their expedition is observed by The White Goddess, a white jungle girl who warns the animals against being captured and releases the animals they do capture. They catch her by luring her with a shiny object -- a hand mirror -- and the expected complications ensue. Meanwhile, Stitch conducts an experiment with an imported white mouse to see whether elephants in the wild are really afraid of mice.Low-budget writer, director, and producer Harry L. Fraser worked on a number of similar jungle, gorilla, and white-orphans-raised-by-animals pictures from the 1920's through the 1940's, but none of the others had Rochelle Hudson swinging from vines. This may have been a cut-rate, opposite-sex version of Tarzan the Ape Man, which was made the same year, but it's fun on its own terms.
