Dorothy Lamour was known as the Sarong Girl for this movie The Jungle Princess. It is an interesting movie because of Ulah ( Lamour) and her relationship with English Big Hame Hunter Chris ( Ray Milland), and the tiger and chimp, This film was obviously a success in 1936 because Paramount put Lamour, Milland and Lynn Overman ( Frank the Comedy relief), in a very similar movie Her Jungle Love two years later. Spoilers ahead: Of course, in both films Milland ends up with Lamour, but there are several differences. The Jungle Princess is filmed in Black and White and her Jungle Love is in color. Also in this movie she goes back to civilization with Milland, while Her Jungle Love he remains on an Island with her, and here you see Chimpanzees attacking the bad natives while the later film has crocodiles and a volcano. Both films can be found on YouTube. Which movie is better? Her Jungle Love is because the print is better, and you can see the Sarong Girl in color. Anyway I liked both films and I give The Jungle Princess 6/10 stars.
