Title: You seen one 30s jungle movie, you seen em all
Review: This one stars celebrity lion tamer Clyde Beatty as, well, himself, on a mission to find his girlfriend who's been lost on the mythic island of "Kamar". Really, Clyde doesn't even play himself very well, but he's a circus performer not an actor. His duplicious assistant undercuts him at every turn, loosing a lion on him while some unexplainably present children gawk, and engaging in some unnecessary animal cruelty. Is any animal cruelty actually necessary? Clyde's aloofness with his gal is amusing, and the scene where he tames a cage full of dozens of animals (even bears) at once is certainly impressive. But as the tag says, you seen one jungle epic, you seen em all. Take it or leave it.
