Movie review - Jungle Jim#7 - "Jungle Manhunt" (1951) ***

 The series was in solid stride at this stage. This is made with care and energy. Low budget to be sure but enjoyable stock footage, a decent story.  Sheila Ryan plays one of the strongest female characters in a Jim film, a photographer looking for a scoop. The missing person here is a football player, played by Bob Waterfield - a real football star who was once married to Jane Russell. He's not a great actor but it adds to the fun.

There's people dressing up in skeleton outfits, Jim fighting a shark, Lyle Talbot as a crazed doctor, killer dinosaur reptiles in a valley, plenty of action. I had a good time watching it.
