The transfers on these films are usually terrific. Let’s hope Jungle Man-Eaters (1954) and Jungle Moon Men (1955) are widescreen. They were 1.85 in theaters.
A few years ago, Umbrella Entertainment in Australia put out a six-movie/three-DVD set, The Jungle Jim Movie Collection. Get both sets and you’ll have 11 of the 16 Jungle Jim pictures.
Toby, thank goodness for Mill Creek Entertainment for providing these affordable DVD’s of JUNGLE JIM movies. I rather doubt they will ever be in Blu-ray, so this is probably the best we’ll get, but that is okay.
