Duel in the Jungle (1954)
Decent if not terribly memorable adventure film starring Dana (Curse of the Demon) Andrews.
For whatever reasons i preferred the opening half hour set in England and the voyage on the ship to the actual jungle hi-jinks. Possibly because the dialogue allowed the characters to grow on me rather than simply have them running round the jungle amid stock footage animals.
Admittedly the Technicolor photography shot on location in Rhodesia is impressive as well as being quite beautiful and there are genuinely tense scenes, whilst David Farrar is a good villain.
Watched via the Network dvd.
