94 Jungle Woman ( 1944 )

In  case  you  were  in  any  doubt  that  this  was  a  sequel  to  Captive  Wild  Woman , the  first  15  minutes  of  Jungle  Woman  are  a  helpful  resume  with  full  replays  of  the  climax  and  Milburn  Stone's  lion  taming  routine.

He  and  Evelyn  Ankers   resume  their  roles  though  only  as  cameos. Acquanetta  also  returns  as  the  woman/ gorilla  revived  by  well-meaning  Doctor  Fletcher  ( J  Carrol  Naish )   and  just  as  angry  and  jealous   as before.  The  change  in  setting  to  Fletcher's  sanatorium  and  a  couple  of  well-filmed  sequences  prevent  this  from  being  a  dull  re-hash  of  the  first  film.

Acquanetta  ( as  Paula  Dupree )

Sex : No, she's  more  covered  up  this  time  round

Death : By  an  overdose  of  sedative  in  a  struggle  with  Dr  Fletcher

Acquanetta  gets  more  screen  time  and  an  opportunity  to  speak  - not  necessarily  an  advantage  -  in  this  one.

Lois  Collier  ( as  Joan  Fletcher )

Sex : No

Death : No

The  new  girl  on  the  block  was  originally  Madellyn  Jones  from  South  Carolina, a  former  radio  actress. She  did  more  Westerns  than  horror. She  moved  into  TV  in  the  fifties  with  a  regular  role  in  Boston  Blackie  ( 1951-4 ). A  couple  of  divorces  helped  her  to  retire  from  acting  in  1957. She  died  in  1999  aged  80.

Evelyn  Ankers  ( as  Beth  Mason )

Sex : No

Death : Survives

Evelyn's  completely  wasted  in  her  barely  necessary  cameo.
