JUNGLE JIM MOVIES
4 DVD set - ALL 16 MOVIES COMPLETE + Bonus
Columbia Pictures produced a series of 16 Jungle Jim B-movies from
1948 to 1956,
set in Africa and starring Johnny Weissmuller, who had gained fame
playing Tarzan.
In the last three of these movies, the name "Jungle Jim" was not
used, and
Weissmuller used his own name, essentially playing an idealized
version of himself,
as did cowboy stars Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. This was because
these three
features were produced concurrently with a "Jungle Jim" TV series
starring
Weissmuller produced by Columbia's Screen Gems (see below) and the
series
had the rights to "Jungle Jim." (The "Weissmuller" jungle character
was otherwise
indistinguishable from Jungle Jim, and the final three films are
commonly referred
to as "Jungle Jim movies" though that is not technically accurate.)
