Wild, Wild Podcast Season 6 Ep. 3 - Samoa, the Jungle Girl (1968)


Come with us up river with Edwige Fenech and Roger Browne as we look for diamonds amongst the stock footage and become on a little more than speaking terms with Samoa, the only jungle girl in history to not actually live in a jungle. Yes, it's our penultimate episode in this jungle-flavored mini-season, and this one is a little different from what we've become accustomed to. But it's still great fun! Just don't pin all your affection on Clint. He'll let you down.

In the episode we discussed a great podcast interview with Roger Browne that was published a few years ago by Dorado Films. It is currently offline, but if we manage to locate a copy we will let you know.

There's not a lot out there written about the film, but we did locate two blog posts which are quite good, HERE and HERE.

We would love to hear from you if you have any favorite Jungle Girl films, or if you ever got lost in the jungle yourself and ended up befriending the animals or becoming a god to a local tribe.
