Low budget, formulaic - and lots of fun, especially for the 'camp' fans. Unlike a lot of 'camp' film 'classics,' there's nothing offensive about this one, which may explain its low rating, as camp fans sometimes demand the tasteless and forget what entertainment used to be about.It's not stupid, its just a light working class Tarzan-type pic with humor, '40s style knockabout action, a good guy finding redemption in the arms of a beautiful and innocent young woman, a nasty villain, and babes. The 'natives' are not treated with any racist derision, by the way, which makes the whole outing harmless fun 'for the whole family.' Defintitely the type of film you would like to see on late night TV just before hitting the sack.

Low budget jungle adventure. A brief 62 minute escape and quite predictable. Leif Erickson and his transport co-pilot buddy Frank Jenks crash land in the jungle in hopes of surveying a diamond mine. While working for the mine owner Douglass Dumbrille, the two fliers encounter a savage jungle tribe. To their astonishment a blonde white woman (Gale Sherwood)rules as a goddess being raised since infancy by the tribe. It turns out that the "blonde savage" is the daughter of the mine owner's murdered partner. So it is destination stateside to see if justice prevails; or will someone get away with murder. Other players: John Dehner, James Logan, Ernest Whitman and the alluring Veda Ann Borg.

Funny opening sequence: Steve Blake (Leif Erickson) enters the office of a lawyer and says: "You may have to defend me in a murder case." - "Have you killed someone?" asks the lawyer. - "Not yet!" replies Blake, and begins to explain what made him consider that final option. "Blonde Savage" is a B movie about yet another girl lost in the wilderness, but in true "Sheena" style became a goddess to the natives. One little difference between other movies and this one is that Blake tells almost the whole story as a flashback, thus providing the opportunity to give ironic comment on everything. Gale Sherwood plays Meelah, the jungle girl Blake refers to as "that blonde package of TNT". Maybe even better is the role of Veda Ann Borg as Connie Harper, the villain's wife who has a difficult decision to make: shall she keep her mouth shut and stick with her husband, or would it be better to leave him and tell the truth? Well, "Blonde Savage" is good old action adventure cinema of the kind they don't make anymore, maybe not very original but definitely enjoyable.

Well, it isn't Citizen Kane, but it is a fun B picture. Don't expect anything original here, but if you want a fun, relaxing evening without many demands on your gray matter this is a great film to watch. The girls are cute the guys are strong and manly, and the chemistry is there. This is essentially a film about basic emotions and urges. Strong, handsome guy meets lovely, active girl who needs help, He responds with manly vigor. She responds with feminine charm and attraction. Attraction is mutual and he does the right thing, winning the girl and the prize. It is all an old, old story but one we seem to enjoy, because it forms the basis of most films. The thing that makes this enjoyable is that the urges ring true on the screen, You like the characters and you want it all to happen, but there are just enough thrills to keep you interested and wondering if it will come out the way you hope. Taken for what it is, this film is very good. So get out the chips or whatever else it is that you like to munch, get comfy on the couch and enjoy.
