Jungle Jim is the fictional hero of a series of jungle adventures in various media. The series began in 1934 as an Americannewspapercomic strip chronicling the adventures of Asia-based hunter Jim Bradley, who was nicknamed Jungle Jim. The character also trekked through radio, film, comic book and television adaptations. Notable was a series of films and television episodes in which Johnny Weismuller portrayed the safari-suit wearing character, after hanging up his Tarzan loincloth. The strip was created by King Features Syndicate in order to
compete with the popular United Feature Syndicate comic strip Tarzan, by Hal Foster.
Characters and story
Illustrator Alex Raymond and pulp magazine author Don Moore created the original strip as a topper to run above Raymond's Flash Gordon. Jungle Jim and Flash Gordon were launched simultaneously on January 7, 1934.
Two safaris enter the African jungle intent on finding a white girl who is the heiress to a fortune. One safari, led by Jungle Jim, wants to make sure she gets the news that she is now a rich woman and escort her back to civilisation. The leaders of the other safari want to kill the girl so they can try to get hold of her inheritance themselves...
Jungle Jim is a black and white 1948 adventure film directed by William Berke and written by Carroll Young. It is based on Alex Raymond's Jungle Jimcomic strip and was distributed by Columbia Pictures. It is the first picture in the Jungle Jim series that consists of sixteen films originally released between 1948 and 1955. In 1954, Columbia turned over its Jungle Jim rights to its television subsidiary, and in the last three films of the series Weissmuller's character is named "Johnny Weissmuller" instead of Jungle Jim. Devil Goddess (1955) was the last entry in the series, as well as being Weissmuller's last feature film.
Plot summary
This is the first adventure of Jungle Jim, an African guide and hunter.
How many boomers remember Jungle Jim starring Johnny Weissmuller , the show was based on the Jungle Jim newspaper comic strip. He had previously played the character in a series of sixteen theatrically released Jungle Jim feature films, which were produced soon after he retired from the Tarzan film series in 1948.
The "Jungle Jim" TV show premiered on Sept. 26, 1955 and ended its 26 episode run on March 19, 1956. It ran for 26 episodes and was produced by Screen Gems who sold it into syndication.
I paid 25 dollars for this 16mm syndicated film print 40 years ago, and it seems to have held up pretty good in storage, and was just restored by Indiana Universities film restoration project to save my collection. Hopefully the other prints will hold up as well.
