White Pongo | Jungle Adventure
Показать описание
(1945) Hunters and scientists venture into the jungle to track down a savage albino gorilla, which they believe could be the missing link between man and ape.
One of many Poverty Row jungle films, this has to be one of the truly "so bad it's good" films of its era. A Chief Native Bearer named "Mumbo Jumbo" -- addressed by the other actors with a straight face! Pongo is a white gorilla, and one of the natives points to the ground and cries, "B'wana! B'wana! Pongo tracks!" Normal gorillas leave recognizably different tracks? Pressing through the jungle on their trek, they pass the same tree multiple times.
Director: Sam Newfield
Writer: Raymond L. Schrock
Starring: Richard Fraser, Maris Wrixon, Lionel Royce
