Watch Captive Girl For Free

That was an excellent one.

Absolutely brilliant

The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

...And what an imposing figure she is too, seen right after the opening credits, looking strangely imperious as she stood out looking over her "kingdom". On first glance, I found myself checking the credits to make sure "she" was a woman, and although little information was available on Anita Lhotse, I found out indeed she was, a former swimming champion who once dated Clint Eastwood. But for this fourth of the Jungle Jim series, she's presented as an evil figure, indeed referred to as a witch, although it's insinuated that she was lost in the jungle as a child (a la Tarzan) yet according to native legend without the big heart of Johnny Weismueller's earlier character. Indeed, she has a very masculine face, a severe hair style, and enough muscle tone to make Xena, Warrior Princess jealous. Like Tarzan too, she has the ability to call wild animals, but seemingly, it's not to help somebody in distress.Weismueller is joined by another former Tarzan, Buster Crabbe, quite different here as a villain searching for lost treasure. He's the type of white man that makes the natives hate all white men, even though Jungle Jim is clearly on their side. Accompanied by his puppy and baby chimp pals (who seemingly understand English), Jim finds out the truth about "the white witch", and comes across another lost city filled with a mystery of its own. In silly "native headdress", Rick Vallin hunts all of the white characters, bringing them altogether for the ultimate showdown. Silly fun for those who can stomach such nonsense, it's a fun time filler with plenty of thrills, unintentional laughs, and a not quite leading lady who only pretends to whistle to her animal pals and doesn't utter a word. Not surprising she only made one film, it's also a relief that Columbia didn't spin off a series featuring her.

Swimming champions Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabbe duel it out in Captive Girl part of Weissmuller's Jungle Jim series. Crabbe was in better shape however because we get to see him stripped down where Weissmuller even in his swimming scenes is clothed.Crabbe is only one of two villains. The other being John Dehner ludicrously made up in blackface to play the tribal witch doctor. This may have been the nadir of that career, but Dehner soldiered on as he kept a straight face throughout the film.Weissmuller as the legendary Jungle Jim has been hired to go to India presumably to find and locate an evil jungle witch, a white girl roaming the jungle there with a tiger as a companion who has been running a small terrorist campaign against Dehner and his minions who've been ruling his tribe in the absence of Chief Rick Vallin who has gone off to white man's missionary school. Now Weissmuller and Vallin are traveling together, Weissmuller to find the mysterious white girl with the tiger and Vallin to reclaim his legacy.Crabbe is a treasure hunter who is after the loot that the white girl's parents found presumably as archaeologists back in the day before they disappeared.The white girl is Anita Lhoest, swimming champion of the Forties who looked real good in some tiger skin bodywear. They gave her minimal and I mean minimal dialog, less than Weissmuller and Crabbe had back when they were playing Tarzan. This was Anita's one and only film and why no one thought of her for Sheena, Queen Of The Jungle who knows?I saw these films as a lad and looking at it now I see how ludicrously bad some of these Jungle Jim films were. Positive camp.

What girl no matter her age can resist anything that has both Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabb in it? Just seeing Johnny Weissmuller in anything is reward enough. He was absolutely captivating in all of the Tarzan movies. He was also fun in the Jungle Jim television shows too. It is time well spent even if the movies and plots may seem weak. Better than what is out there now. At least the men are attractive and worth looking at. What is interesting is that both Johnny and Buster were competitive in the Olympics. And then they were competitive in the movies. Another neat movie with both of them in it is Swamp Fire. More competition but all for the love of a lady. These are just fun escapism movies back when men were men and women were lucky!

This is a funny movie that is completely unbelievable. Had I seen this movie in the early fifties, I would have believed it is realistic. It is light entertainment at the most, but the Jungle Girl Anita is one fine "Honey", I think I love her. To my consternation this beauty made only ONE movie. History is abundant with horse faces making multiple flicks, why not a beauty like Anita? Oh well, That's life, but this movie is not about life.
