Believe it or not, I was pleased to watch it because the presence of Steven Geray as a villain; I discovered this actor with Joseph H Lewis' SO DARK THE NIGHT and since then I try to notice every movie starring this underrated actor. That said, this Jungle Jim feature is really worth, maybe one of the best of the series, though nothing really new, just fun, never boring, William Berke was very comfortable with this kind of stuff, so you already know what to deal with. I hope you'll enjoy thiis movie as much as I did. Jungle Jim was definitely a poor man's Tarzan with clothes. That's good enough for me.
I can't believe how much fun Jungle Jim movies really are! I stayed up very late to watch this one and it's a real gem! Anything with... Johnny Weissmuller, Billy Curtis (wearing a black long wig), jungle settings, tons of stock footage, Johnny fighting a rubber crocodile and a guy in a gorilla suit (is that Crash Corrigan? Looks like his suit.)...is well worth it. This is one that should not be missed! Too bad Johnny only made 16 Jungle Jims.
I enjoyed the early Weissmuller Tarzan films. This is my first Jungle Jim and it will be my last, just an excuse to get the ageing star back into the jungle, now fully clothed, to swim around, stab rubber alligators and 'fight' bad guys, exclusively with huge roundhouse swings. The laughs come in the unrelenting silliness of it all. There is no 'island' and no 'pygmies', just a bunch of white dwarf actors. A female army captain has disappeared on an expedition to find some plants for a ridiculous reason, another expedition has been sent after her, guided by JJ, and foreign agents provide the opposition.
This film takes sexism to new lows. At one point two villains are to be dealt with. A few roundhouse swings from Jim takes care of one, while tall, athletic-looking Ann Savage watches on, while a male 'pygmy' the size of an average six-year-old overpowers the other. On another occasion, now armed with a pistol, she is told by Jim to 'wait by the jeep' while he and the soldiers go off to do the business, and a little later a three foot 'pygmy' tells her the same thing. Both times she does as ordered without a murmur. Some captain.

U. S. Army expedition into pygmy territory to find a missing WAC (Ann Savage)as well as looking into a recently discovered kind of rope that will not burn or break.
The pygmy had been killed by the Bush Devil cult but little is known of them, though Jim surmises that they are not a devil cult tribe as they are wearing boots. No doubt part of the others who are after the plant used to make this indestructible rope fibre...
As always Jim keeps his cool as he is faced with danger from an undercover Communist Agent, masked enemies, an elephant stampede ....
Man gorilla suits, pygmies tribe and a communist agent looking for a rope - the above tells you what is in store; fantastic romp aimed at the child in us. Some action enlivens up things keeping things from becoming dull.

The dog tags of a Woman's Army Corps officer are found in the jungle along with
a few other items by our hero Jungle Jim with the body of a dead pygmy. Our
government has taken an interest in finding and maybe rescuing Ann Savage because with those dog tags is a piece of rope made of a substance grown only
in the jungle. It's strong and it doesn't burn. Of course there are other and unfriendly governments also interested and in 1950 that could only mean the
Commies though they are never identified by name. In the film that would be
Steven Geray and William Tannen who want to find Savage for their own
nefarious purposes.
So it's Johnny Weissmuller and David Bruce for our side and Geray and Tannen for the bad guys going to look for Savage in pygmy country. A lot of stock jungle footage, an elephant stampede, and Jungle Jim battling a gorilla or a guy in a gorilla suit in unconvincing fashion.
When the Jungle Jim series ended, Weissmuller took the series to television where it was better suited. Still it only lasted a season there.
With King Solomon's Mines and The African Queen on the horizon, the movie going public would little tolerate films like Pygmy Island. It's not tolerable now.

- Erros de gravaçãoWhen Jungle Jim finds the captain's dog tags, he reads, "A.R. Kingsley, Captain, U.S. Army". However, a shot of the dog tag before he reads it shows that the only thing printed on it was "A.R. Kingsley" followed by a serial number.
