  Jewels in the Jungle
These desperate and hopeless people are mainly from the Hmong hill tribes, some of which were former fighters and soldiers in the Laotian civil war more than 30 years ago, and food and shelter and time is running out fast for them and their families.
Almost all of the villagers are in rags and some of the children are naked, many people suffering from gunshot and shrapnel wounds, some with poorly treated injuries from landmines and mortars, no medicines, their eyes and bellies showing the tell-tale signs of severe malnutrition and near starvation.
Their eyes showed something else: naked fear and terror and an almost total resignation that death was near, very near.

  Naked Jungle - UKGameshows
Naked Jungle is essentially a naturist version of the recent children's action game show Jungle Run.
Whereas Jungle Run is a contest to collect as many bananas as possible, the theme of Naked Jungle is collecting fig-leaves.
Such was the bru-ha-ha conjured up by the programme that it was the subject of a debate in the House of Commons, regarding the state of British television.

 NAKED JUNGLE-Pictures, Info, VHS, DVD & Posters found HERE!
Conrad tells Heston about strange happenings in the jungle, animal migrations, and when Heston asks him what he thinks is causing them, Conrad says the dreaded word, "MARABUNDA"--the massive movement of a huge swarm of soldier ants, twenty miles long, two miles wide, traveling six miles a day, devouring everything in its path!!!
Conrad tells Heston that the only intelligent course is to get out of their way, but Heston has fought the jungle too long and too hard to simply walk away.
Parker argues that if Heston sends her away in the face of this threat, the native workers will also flee and Heston won't have a chance of fighting the ants, an argument that impresses Heston.

 DVD Review:
In THE NAKED JUNGLE, Charlton Heston plays the powerful, brooding owner of a plantation in the wild and treacherous South American jungle, while Eleanor Parker plays his charming American mail order bride.
The Naked Jungle's reputation rests on its last couple of reels, when plantation owner Charlton Heston battles the Marabunta, the twenty-mile long, two-mile wide army of billions of soldier ants ("forty square miles of agonizing death!") heading straight for the empire he carved out of the jungle with his bare hands.
When the jungle is swept with a plague of killer ants, they are brought together by Eleanor's strong determination to stay and win Heston over.

 The Naked Jungle (1954)
Plot: Joanna Selby travels deep inside the South American jungle to meet for the first time Carl Leningen, a man she has married by mail order and the owner of a vast plantation that covers 200,000 acres.
The images of the jungle presented are as alien a world as anything in any of Pal's more straightforward sf pictures - the sense that Parker has passed well beyond the limits of civilization.
Yordan swings some strong and effective metaphors - the sense of a man symbolically pitted against the ferocity of nature and fighting an aggressive war of dominance against nature (the ants are eventually symbolically turned back at the very door of his house), a battle that Heston only wins by overcoming his pride and hubris.

But Naked does boast one of Charlton Heston's better, less mannered performances, as well as a dandy one from the lovely Eleanor Parker, who knows how to make a strong impression even in a film in which a swarm of ants is the real star.
Set in 1901 in the Amazon jungle, this fabulous "Insect Feature" has excellent special effects and atmosphere, with Charlton Heston as a mucho macho man who is at war with the dreaded marabunta, the killer red ants who threaten to take over his plantation.
Desiring a wife with whom to share his vast jungle holdings, Leiningen marries a woman by proxy from New Orleans and is displeased to discover that she is a widow, and has known men.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: The Naked Jungle   (Site not responding. Last check: )
As the ants approach, Jungle quickly transforms into a siege movie, and though most of the actors look a bit silly screaming in agony while covered in ants (suspension of disbelief is nigh impossible if you're over the age of 10), it's a well-choreographed set-piece.
The script was written during the fllist, and though Phillip Yordan is credited (he was a well-known front during the era), it was Ben Maddow, best known for The Asphalt Jungle (1950), who actually wrote it, along with Ranald MacDougall.
Great banter is exchanged between Heston and Parker about her previous marriage and his reticence to be with anyone so sullied, while the sexual tensions reach impressive levels of ribaldry for a '50s adventure film, with Heston shakily filling his glass after being so aroused by his spouse.

 BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Naked Chegwin show sparks debate
Billed as the "gameshow for naturists", Naked Jungle was broadcast as part of Channel 5's celebration of naturism week.
The programme saw naked host Chegwin - of Big Breakfast and Cheggers Plays Pop fame - leading male and female contestants - in a similar state of undress - through a series of demanding puzzles in a jungle environment.
But it proved the highest rating entertainment programme on Channel 5 this year, drawing two million viewers and 20% of share of the total audience for that time of night.

The Naked Jungle combines a heavy dose of sexual symbolism with exotic adventure.
The cultured lady who plays the piano and speaks several languages doesn't quite fit into the steamy jungle scene, and Heston's impotence leaves him despairing for himself and filled with disgust for her.

The newlyweds finally meet, and things don't go very well as Christopher, who's lived in the jungle for awhile (perhaps too long) has misgivings about his new wife, as certain details about her past are revealed.
The second half is mostly comprised of the arrival of the ants, and the feeble efforts to stop this seemingly unstoppable force, first protecting the plantation, but soon for their own survival.
Heston is excellent as Christopher, a man dedicated to realizing his dream, wrenching it (respectfully) from the living jungle, and the unquestioned master of his world, forced to contend with someone who isn't meant to be controlled (Joanna) and a menace that can't be controlled (the ants).

 dOc DVD Review: The Naked Jungle (1953) - Printable
Most of the screen time is spent on the potboiler romance between Heston, an explorer type who left home at a young age to conquer the jungle and never had time for women, and Eleanor Parker, a new bride with a secret, and an independent disposition that frightens her husband.
At one point, he freaks out because she won't wear his special perfume, so he proceeds to dump the whole bottle onto her in a rage (the bit was reportedly a Heston improv).
The Naked Jungle is essentially a big tease for Killer Insect fanatics, but if you like your bug horror with a nice slice of melodrama, look no further.

 The Naked Jungle - Movie Review
Back in the 1950s, Charlton Heston was cranking out two or three movies a year, most of them cheapies like The Naked Jungle.
It's not a terrible one, mind you, but the second half of the film is far more interesting.
But Jungle's ant invasion is surprisingly effective and attention-grabbing.

 Scifilm -- Musings, THE NAKED JUNGLE (1954)
If this were your typical jungle movie, it would be marginal at best in terms of belonging to the fantastic genres.
And given the above plot description, you might well think it's even more marginal than the usual jungle movie.
Don't worry; though it's not a horror movie, the horrific content that manifests itself in the last third of this movie (when Leinengen attempts to defend his plantation against an onslaught of soldier ants) is the very stuff of nightmares.
