Jungle Girl (serial)
Jungle Girl 1941 is a 15Chapter Republic Pictures Serial starring Frances Gifford. It was directed by William Witney and John English based on the novel Jungle Girl 1932 by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was the twentysecond of the sixtysix serials produced by Republic.
The serial was officially based on Edgar Rice Burroughs Jungle Girl novel. Nevertheless, it bore almost no resemblance to the novel, which had no character named Nyoka and was about an Asian princess, not a white woman living in Africa. Like many Republic adaptations, the contract to use a character called the Jungle Girl meant that showings of the serial after a set date were banned.Filming on Jungle Girl took place betweenMarch andMay 1941. At fortyfive days this shares the title of second longest shoot for a Republic serial with Secret Service in Darkest Africa 1943. The serials production number was 1096. ........
