Aldo G @RT54480587 Mar 7, 2025 A low-budget mess of a noir. But, I liked it similar to the dime store pulp novels my mom would buy and I'd read through for cheap thrills See more deke p @RT96675217 Jun 13, 2022 1955! Noir crime drama. LAWRENCE TIERNEY! JAYNE MANSFIELD! JOHN CARRADINE! Never herdo til saw it on the tv set 6.12.22 Sunday nite Noir on 13.3 Note to sef: next time pay closer attention. See more Oct 5, 2013 Muddled but diverting B film noir melodrama. See more Dec 18, 2011 So, now it's time for a review of a Jayne Mansfield-movie! Though, I should add that she only has a small role, but it's actually her debut. I honestly had no expectations at all, before watching this. It's been on my "wanted"-list for a good while, and the main reason why I wanted to see it, was because it's Jayne Mansfield's debut role in a motion picture. But I have to say that it was actually better than I had hoped for. I find these unpretentious low-budget Noir's a bit charming. They usually have a very plain and straight story to work on, and few but strong and colorful characters. I can appreciate those components at times. Look at Detour, for example! Female Jungle may not be as sharp as Detour, but it belongs to the same category of B-noirs. The movie is about the chasing of a killer of a beautiful blonde movie actress. There are several possible culprits in the picture; an off-duty cop (Lawrence Tierney), a caricaturist (John Carradine), a janitor (James Kodl), a columnist (Burt Kaiser) and his wife (Kathleen Crowley) and his lover (Jayne Mansfield).... This movie is not too impressing but contains a few thrills, but most importantly is a chronicle among film noirs, and definitely watch-worthy if you're into those!
