Mabok, der Schrecken des Dschungels

I too saw this movie as a youngster (8 or 9 years of age)and I remember the climatic scene. Dorothy Lamour's pet tiger was killed in it by the rogue elephant and I had just lost a pet cat. I cried, but I recovered in time to see the elephant beast fall to its death. I still have the theme song on an LP record. I would love to see this movie again but I have never seen a listing for it in the years I have had cable TV. This was the second Dorothy Movie in which she portrayed a jungle heroine with a pet tiger. The other being The Jungle Princess and the tiger also gets killed in that one while trying to protect her. It seems a shame that I can watch The Range Riders with Eddie Dean on cable TV but I cannot see Beyond the blue horizon.

One of Miss Lamour's last "monkey flicks"...and really one of the best. Richard Denning never looked better. Great music and photography. Just plain good entertainment. It's a shame Paramount does not release this on DVD.

Probably my rating is more sentimental than objective. I saw the movie when I was eleven years old in 1942, having developed a significant crush on Dorothy Lamour from her earlier movie, "The Fleet's In". Still, the movie was highly enjoyable and featured a lovely song entitled "A Full Moon and an Empty Heart" which I still occasionally play on the piano even now. I have never been able to get a recording of this song, nor have I been able to get a copy of the movie on videotape.

I have read the previous comments and would also like to say that I too was very young when I saw this movie. This movie for some reason has had an impact on me,because its a movie that I will never forget as a child. I have made mentioned of this to all that have entered my life and I have made all attempts in trying to see this movie again. Can you believe this? I seen it once when I was like 7 or 8 years old and have been trying to see this again. The most memorable part of this movie that has been embedded in my mind was when they tried to trap this Giant wild elephant from destroying the jungle village. In doing this they made a bamboo wall in front of this cliff and lured the elephant to chase them. Once the elephant did this they use one of those swinging vine that swoop over the cliff while the elephant went crashing through the bamboo wall over the Cliff. For what is was worth, I need to see this again.

I, too, have wished for years that I could see this movie again. I was about eight when I saw it. Richard Denning, as Jackra, did lure the renegade elephant to follow him to a cliff. He swung out over the cliff on a vine, ala Tarzan, and the elephant charged over the cliff. I seem to remember he had a tame lion or tiger that had jumped on the back of the elephant, but that was thrown to its death. I probably cried at that. This scene has stuck in my mind for more than 50 years, and I would really love to see it again. I could remember the title, but never could find a plot summary that mentioned this scene.
