Watch Killer Leopard For Free

Very best movie i ever watch

How sad is this?

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

KILLER LEOPARD (Allied Artists, 1954), produced and written by Ford Beebe, who also directed along with Edward Morey Jr., is the eleventh entry to the "Bomba" jungle adventures starring non-other than Johnny Sheffield. With the character created by Roy Rockwood in the "Bomba" books, this is the sort of material geared mostly for its juvenile Saturday matinee audiences. The movie itself sets its title character of the killer leopard as background material with more focus and extended scenes on its safari and a woman searching for her husband. The wife in question is played by the young Beverly Garland, best known for her television roles, mainly that as Barbara in the final three seasons (1969-1972) to the long-running sit-com, "My Three Sons" (1960-1972) starring Fred MacMurray. As much as Garland worked mostly on television dating back to the 1950s, she was a movie actress as well, something very few have realized in later years when she became a familiar television personality decades later.Opening title: "On the fringe of the African jungle - Laghaso - a crossroads for adventures from the four corners of the continent." Linda Winters (Beverly Garland), is introduced as an American movie actress having come 8,000 miles to Africa searching for her missing husband, Fred (Donald Murphy), a former bookkeeper. She traces him down to the Café of the Three Dragons where he, earlier, had made arrangements with Charlie Pulham (Barry Bernard), to act as his guide to lead him to Sheridan's Compound to track down a batch of uncut diamonds to make him rich. The following morning finds Bomba, the jungle boy (Johnny Sheffield) riding his elephant. He then helps Jonas (Bill Walker), a native man just attacked by a dangerous killer leopard. Taking Jonas to the home cottage of his good friend, Deputy Andy Barnes (Leonard Mudie) to attend to his wounds, Bomba soon meets with Linda at his front door where she comes for further assistance. Bomba offers to track down her husband alone to Belden's Landing while she and Eli (Smoki Whitfield) travel through the jungle by jeep. Bomba finds the camp where Winters is staying to give him the news about his wife, but is told he wants nothing to do with her. Bomba runs back to tell Linda the news, only to spare her feelings by his blunt message. He agrees to guide Linda to the place where Winters is staying, but upon their arrival, they find Winters and his guide have moved on after their raft was cast adrift. As they journey further, all get themselves involved in individual segments with the killer leopard on their trail. Further danger soon awaits after Pulham leads Winters to Saunders (Harry Cording) a diamond smuggler, and his tough assistants.A standard jungle adventure Bomba style, featuring typical stock footage of Bomba's animal friends. The killer leopard gets his share of several extreme close-ups as a reminder that this dangerous animal should not be overlooked in favor of the extended story involving both safari and jungle boy's guidance and assistance to the visiting characters. Highlights include Bomba and Linda swimming in the river, to find crocodiles resting on the surface on one side, and leopard and dangerous water buffalo on the other; and Bomba's one-on-one encounter with the killer leopard, but no threat to Johnny Weissmuller's similar nature in his earlier "Tarzan" series. Naturally there is betrayal amongst the greedy hunters to stir up some excitement. There's also in the cast including Russ Conway (Sergeant Maitland); and Rory Mallison (Officer Deevers), men of the law also searching for Fred Winters involving his crisis back in the states; Roy Glenn (Jonas); Milton Wood (Conji); and Martin Wilkins (Gambi). With Beverly Garland working more alongside Sheffield's Bomba, there are moments seen in her eyes where she seems more romantically interested in him than in her husband search. At 70 minutes, KILLER LEOPARD reaches its level agreeably to its point of interest.Commonly presented on broadcast television dating back to the 1960s, notably a decade later on New York City's WOR, Channel 9's during its weekly Saturday morning "Jungle Adventure" series (1977-1979), this, and other "Bomba" adventures can be seen on cable television's Turner Classic Movies, where it premiered March 10, 2013. Next and last in the series: LORD OF THE JUNGLE (1955). (**)

***SPOILERS*** Bomba, Johnny Sheffield, the jungle boy now at age 23 is getting a bit too big for his kid or juvenile size loincloth gets involved with illegal diamond smuggling as well as a killer black leopard who's attacking and eating the local native population. It's Fred Winters, Donald Murphy,the abused husband, in him always being in his wife's shadow, of big time Hollywood actress Linda Winters,Beverly Garland,who decided to make it on his own by embezzling his wife's employer, Allied Artists, of $20,000.00. Not satisfied with the 20 grand Fred is now looking to buy diamonds off African diamond mine supernatant Saunders, Harry Cordine, at cut rate prices, since such a transaction is illegal, and at least double his money!It's Linda herself who travels to darkest Africa to get Fred to turn himself into the police where he'll end up only getting a slap on the wrists in that she paid out of her own pocket the 20 G's that he stole. Shocked that his old lady Linda bails him out as well as his crime being discovered so soon Fred in what seems to be a fit of madness still decides to go on foot with his American guide Charlie Pulham, Barry Bernard, to the far off diamond mines and buy the diamonds off Supt.Saunders! Even if it means he'll end up behind bars for doing it! While all this is going on Bomba is recruited by Linda to track down her husband and knock some sense into his head before he ends up getting himself killed: By either his partners in crime Supt. Saunders and his greedy and double crossing guide Charlie Pulham or the on the loose and hungry for human flesh killer leopard! It's the killer leopard that in fact makes the movie interesting in that he doesn't need to read and remember the ridicules script in the movie. In that his acting is purely natural, and mostly in stock footage, in that all he has to do is just be himself and not have to put on an embarrassing act,like Bomba Linda & Fred,at all!***SPOLIERS*** Bomba in first finding Fred is now confronted with the killer leopard in who's hideout, a hidden cave, Charlie Pulham's body was hidden in by his killer Supt. Saunders. Charlie like Fred got a bit too greedy in wanting more of a cut, from the illegal diamonds, from Saunders that the two agreed upon and ended up paying for it with his life. Bomba in a stock footage scene from an earlier Bomba movie, "Bomba on Panther Island", dispatched the killer leopard and ends up swinging through the jungle as the movie finally ends.P.S Check out actor Charles Stevens as bar owner Tony Gonzales who tipped off Linda to where her cheating husband Fred is. Stevens just happens to be the grandson of the famous and notorious Apache chief Gernoimo himself!

This entry in the Bomba The Jungle Boy series has Johnny Sheffield with two problems. Movie star Beverly Garland has come to Africa trailing her worthless husband who has embezzled all kinds of money and the cops also want him. But Garland wants to make it right. But while she's out hunting him, there's a Killer Leopard on the lose and he's on the prowl for any and all concerned.The husband is Donald Murphy and he's hired guide Barry Bernard to go into the interior to get some diamonds out for a little illegal smuggling. He really isn't interested in being Mr. Movie Star's husband any longer. Still Garland has a mission and she's got Bomba along for help.Watching Garland and Murphy I was thinking of two show business marriages that of Fanny Brice and Nicky Arnstein and that of Doris Day and Marty Melcher. The writers could have been inspired by either or both of those.Killer Leopard is an above average Bomba picture even though Sheffield is clearly getting too old to be a convincing jungle boy.

The Killer Leopard is one of the later Bomba movies Johnny Sheffield appeared in. He was in his twenties when he starred in this.In this one he helps a movie star, played by Beverley Garland (It Conquered the World), to look for her husband in the jungle. He is on the run after committing several crimes in Britain. The search though is hampered by a rather unfriendly black leopard which seems to enjoy killing people. Bomba does kill it at the end though and the movie star successfully finds her husband, after some of his party are killed.I was lucky to obtain a copy of this movie as it is quite rare to get hold of, as are all of the Bomba movies.Watch this if you get the chance. I quite enjoyed it.Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
