Watch The Naked Jungle Online.
Movie Title: The Naked Jungle The Naked Jungle is available for streaming or downloading. |
I once had an bad experience with some fire ants in Florida many years ago, animated my ill-fated decision to hold a rest under the shade of a palm tree, only to behold I had sat squarely on a bunch of the red devils, and they seemed none to delighted about that (I guess I can’t really blame them, as I would probably be upset being squashed by a comparatively giant bottom myself) . The lesson learned there was peek where you sit. Watching producer George Pal’s The Naked Jungle (1954) brought aid memories of my less than toothsome experience, as soon I initiate rubbing at welts long since gone. Wonderfully directed by Byron Haskin (Love Island, The War of the Worlds), The Naked Jungle stars an friendly Charlton Heston (Ben Hur, Touch of Spoiled), Eleanor Parker (Scaramouche), William (TV’s Frank Canon, P.I.) Conrad and a whole lotta ants (imagine a column of voracious ants two miles long and twenty miles wide…we’re gonna need the industrial size Raid) …or, Marabunta, as they’re often referred to within the movie.

The film, which takes site deep in the South American jungle, begins with a rather refined looking lady completely out of site on a funky river barge traveling deep in the heart of the jungle. The woman’s name is Joanna Leiningen (Parker), and she’s on her draw to meet her husband, Christopher Leiningen (Heston), at his titanic cocoa plantation. They’ve never met before, as Christopher, who’s spent the last fifteen years or so building his plantation so deep in the jungle has not had time to win a wife, so he arranged for his brother, who was stateside, to earn an appropriate woman to which he could marry by proxy and then she would eventually go to the plantation and area up space. The newlyweds finally meet, and things don’t go very well as Christopher, who’s lived in the jungle for awhile (perhaps too long) has misgivings about his recent wife, as clear details about her past are revealed. Joanna, a strong-willed woman, chaffs against Christopher’s somewhat chauvinistic expectations, but does try to collect her state, as she believes the choice to enter into this intention was just, but now seems for naught as Christopher decides she should return to the states, that is until it’s learned that the Marabunta (normally announce to dwell within their mounds, but every once in awhile, like 20 years or so, they organize and ravage the surrounding countryside) are cutting a swath through the jungle, with Christopher’s plantation directly in their path, restricting any depart whatsoever, and problems of martial disagreement become petite potatoes against the approaching horde devouring everything they near upon, vegetation, animals, humans (death by hundreds of thousands of puny, microscopic bites? Seems a particularly obnoxious arrangement to go…), etc.
I really enjoyed this film. The characters were well written, and are presented in an shiny, challenging manner. The level of development of the characters of Christopher and Joanna was lively and fills out magnificent great the first half of the film. The second half is mostly comprised of the arrival of the ants, and the mature efforts to close this seemingly unstoppable force, first protecting the plantation, but soon for their fill survival. Heston is noble as Christopher, a man dedicated to realizing his dream, wrenching it (respectfully) from the living jungle, and the unquestioned master of his world, forced to contend with someone who isn’t meant to be controlled (Joanna) and a menace that can’t be controlled (the ants) . He’s basically a expedient man, but given his inexperience with women, his isolation from the outside world, and his accustomed complete authority over most all things within his domain, he’s completely unprepared for a woman the likes of Joanna, even though it may be the thing he needs most. I conception Eleanor Parker did extremely well (and she certainly ain’t terrible to eye at) . Before this film, I was exclusive with her work, but she presented a fantastic character in Joanna, a stubborn woman with a past who believes she’s found her purpose, even if it means living isolated from everything she knew, working to change the seemingly simplistic and maybe even unrealistic attitudes of her original husband (apparently he was looking for a trophy wife, but got a whole lot more than he bargained for with Joanna) . It was really astounding to leer these two clash within character, and I really can’t imagine anyone else in their roles after seeing the film. The threat of the ants was done very well, and appeared very realistic, especially through the expend of matte paintings depicting the destruction caused as they scoured the landscape. It’s hard to visualize something as tiny as an ant causing so powerful harm, but when you contemplate billions of them swarming over everything and anything, it certainly seems possible. Haskin’s direction really kept my interest throughout the film, and he was certainly helped by having highly professional and experienced actors enthusiastic in the project. All in all, an safe feature with a climatic and satisfying conclusion.

The film on this DVD is presented in the fleshy conceal format, which, I have is as it was originally released, and then later changed to wide conceal (the wide cover format became more accepted as the 50’s wore on, as theaters transitioned to accommodate it) . The describe is definite and inviting and the audio is very suited, but there are absolutely no special features included in this release, not even the usual theatrical trailer. Perhaps we’ll examine a special edition released at a later date, as it seems more and more (grand to my annoyance) studios release a barebones version first, and then later release a `special edition’, allowing them to increase their profits, that is if those of us who bought the recent inspect fit to occupy the product again with the enticements of more features, essentially making us hold the `upgrade’ is worth buying. Oh well…

The Naked Jungle is a surprisingly likeable movie. From the title, one either believes it’s an erotic film or a comedy, both of which it is neither. The film is actually a mixture of romance and adventure, along with some doses of action and suspense and the combination is well done.

Eleanor Parker stars as Joanna Leinengen, a strong-willed, heavenly, and independent young woman who has been married via mail to Christopher Leinengen, played by Charlton Heston. He owns and lives in his plantation in South America so she travels by boat from the United States to meet him for the very first time. When she arrives, they don’t bag off to a very top-notch inaugurate and Christopher ignores quite a bit and treats her without respect. However, as the time goes by romantic feelings open to perform between them. But a jam is beginning to grow in the jungle. A 20 mile long, 2 mile wide line of soldier ants is headed for Christopher’s plantation and is devouring everything in its path. Now, Christopher and Joanna must judge snappy and defend their home from the itsy-bitsy predators.
I honestly had no understanding what this movie was about when I popped it into the VCR. It’s truly a proper surprise as the romance in the film is well done with a lot of chemistry between Parker and Heston. Each thunder suitable performances.
There’s a switch in tone nearly 2/3’s the blueprint through this movie (it’s 96 minutes long without slay credits), from romance/drama to action/adventure and suspense when the ants commence to invade. The developing tension is taut and snappily paced. One might pick up the feeling that a movie with this kind of set might be rather cheesy but that’s not the case with The Naked Jungle. Every moment is well-executed with competent direction and a wonderful script to boot. For jungle adventure and romance, The Naked Jungle is a gorgeous choice.
