Duel in the Jungle (1954)

Poorly shot, specially when animals involved

[5/10 · 14 February 2020]

It could have been a quite interesting adventure movie, and both Crain and Andrews are OK. The very evidently used stock shots, badly edited, of lion, panther and crocodile make the latter portion very disappointing. So far, it had been fairly entertaining. Miguel Marías

Jivaro (1954)

Fun it was, but not in the only available Spanish DVD

[6/10 · 14 February 2020]

Shamelessly, this DVD loses its image/sound synchronism abot 20 minutes after the film starts, and never recovers it. Unwatchable. To avoid. Miguel Marías

The Eagle and the Hawk (1950)

Another mess of a DVD

[8/10 · 14 February 2020]

Again, a good adventure film from the '50s that only seems available on DVD in a rather poor print and whoise last 20 or 30 minutes have mismatched image and sound. Rather refrain. Miguel Marías

Crosswinds (1951)

A pity

[7/10 · 14 February 2020]

Such a good adventure film, a good childhood recollection that does not disappoint, but seemingly available only on DVD in a shameful state, it seems an vhs taping from TV, including French subtitles in the title and in the ending. Miguel Marías
