White Witch Doctor (1953)


Directed by Henry Hathaway
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Even the star power of Mitchum and Hayward can't escape the fact that this jungle adventure begins with an escaped man-in-a-gorilla-suit and it is obvious neither ever set foot in Africa. The over reliance on stock footage and back projection are serious problems. Still, it's an entertaining if predictable Saturday matinee escapist story with Hayward the sympathetic doctor and Mitchum the he-man gold explorer.
