Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Console best movie i've ever seen.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Liane, das Mädchen aus dem Urwald" is a West German German-language movie from 1956, so this one has its 60th anniversary this year already. But it is really not too accurate to say German-language as all the versions I found of this slightly under 90 minute movie were dubbed in English. This was certainly done to make the film more appealing to foreign (American) audiences. And it must have turned out successful enough as several sequels followed in the years afterward. But for as much as I care, not a single sequel was justified as this film here was extremely mediocre already. It is not a complete failure, but I can really only appreciate it for the unintentional comedy. It does not work as a drama, as an erotic film or as an adventure story. The action is as generic as it gets. For people who prefer brunettes like myself, they brought in Irene Galter as a young stunning scientist. Blonde lovers can go for (the late) Marion Michael playing Liane. The biggest name in the cast, however, is certainly Hardy Krüger. All in all, the writing here was simply too bad to let me recommend it. I am not sure who is the one to blame, the original author or the people who adapted her novel. But it's weak television material at best. Watch something else instead.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** Blond beautiful and topless, this in 1956 when the Hayes Commission was still in effect, Liane played by German actress Marion Michael has been having the time of her life swinging on vines and living rent free in her jungle tree-house for the last 18 years after she was washed up on the coast of Kenya and adopted by the local Botos tribesmen and worshiped as their jungle goddess. This all came to an end when she and her pet baby lion Simba was captured by a number of white Europeans, Germans, hunters lead by handsome blond and Aryan, like herself, looking Thoren, Hardy Kruger, and brought back to civilization in Hamburg Germany for study & observation. It soon becomes apparent that Liane, all the facts about her checks out, is the grand daughter of German shipping tycoon Theo Amelongen, Rudolf Forster, who had given her and her shipwrecked parents up for dead 18 years ago.It's Theo's nephew Viktor, Reggie Nalder, who's to inherited his shipping business who feels that Liane is a threat to his career and does everything to discredit her as being old man Theo's biological grand daughter. Try as he does all the evidence to Liane's relationship to Theo stands up and Viktor in an act of desperation ends up murdering the old guy and pins the blame of his murder on Liane's manservant Boto tribesman Tibor Teleky, Peter Mosbacher. It doesn't take long for the smart as a whip Thoren Aka Thor to see through the scam and expose Viktor as Theo's murderer. That's when in a fit of insanity, in fear of being caught, Victor really goes off the deep end and ends up sleeping with the fishes. That after a wild car chase in the streets of Hamburg that rivals the great car chase scenes in both "Bullet" and "The French Connection" that were in fact made some 15 years later!****SPOILERS**** After all the action in the movie that took place in Hamburg Germany in the end Liane not wanting what the civilized world offers her as well as the late Theo's shipping business is back in the jungles of Kenya with her pet lion Simba swimming in the nude with the now, he doesn't care for civilization either, jungle man Thoren as the film ends.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Liane, Jungle Goddess 1956. An African expedition consisting of Germans find a blonde native girl in the jungle. Research proves that she is the heir to a German billionaire's industrial fortune. The heir is brought back to civilization only to get involved in family drama.*Special Stars- Marion Michael, Hardy Kruger. *Theme- Kindness and help will benefit the weak.*Trivia/location/goofs- German, B&W. Very early screen appearance for actor, Hardy Kruger. Some suggested jungle nudity in swimming and dancing. Many 50's & 60's German character actors are included.*Emotion- A wonderfully naive plot and theme for a foreign jungle film. It's fairytale story keeps you wondering where the drama will start. It does and keeps you interested till the final scene. Simple film with easy virtues.

ptb-8 LIANE JUNGLE GODDESS was released for the school holidays in Sydney Australia in January 1959 and rated G: as in FOR GENERAL EXHIBITION.. haha..it played for 3 weeks in the glorious starry ceiling CAPITOL theatre all 2337 seats, now the home of THE LION KING on stage. The ads for the first two weeks escaped press censorship and had the dear 17 babe NUDE on a rope, obviously swinging from tree to tree. Were'nt we liberated and having a laugh all those years ago. A later ad featured Liane, same pose, and in a drawn on polka dot bikini which means somebody complained. but who cares, by then the kids were back at school and The Capitol was running a double of...wait for it.. THE MUGGER + THE SNORKEL..... a molesters double that ran one ghastly week. Those were the days.....
