This was a low budget final instalment of the ape woman trilogy following on from Captive Wild Woman and Jungle Woman. None of the cast from those films returns, with Paula being played by a different actress , but the earlier doctors are referred to in the script.
This time round Paula is revived by evil Dr ( though the characters consistently address him as Mister ) Stendahl ( Otto Kruger ) aided by the fearsome Moloch who murders as he goes. Moloch is played by the famously ugly actor Rondo Hatton who looked like an Easter Island statue come to life and he's the best thing in the film. Paula is actually little more than a bit player in the film which focuses more on the investigation of Moloch's murders and the peril faced by Stendahl's duped young assistants.
Amelita Ward ( as Ann Forester )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Amelita had a brief career in B pictures in the forties. She died in 1987 aged 64.
Vicky Lane ( as Paula )
Sex : Shows some flesh in a two piece dress
Death : Dead at the start of the movie , revived then once more shot down by the police
Vicky was originally Grace Coghlan from Ireland. She had a negligible film career which ended with this one. Her resemblance to Acquanetta was slight. Bizarrely , her last acting credit was an early episode of Dad's Army ! She died in 1983 aged 57.
