I first saw this movie when I was staying at my grandparents in Virginia Beach, approximately 1975. The room I stayed in had a small color TV (12 inch, maybe a bit more). I watched a lot of movies on that TV, including all of the &#8220;Planet Of The Apes&#8221; movies. Those, of course, are easy to find now, but this one isn&#8217;t. As far as I can tell, it was only released on VHS, and only in pan-and-scan.<\/p>\n<p>The version we watched was clearly digitized from a VHS source, but it was pretty entertaining despite the pan-and-scan. The film was originally released in Techniscope, which was an Italian cheapo widescreen process used in the 1960s. It may not be CinemaScope, but I&#8217;d still rather see the whole picture than a pan-and-scan version. Maybe some day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Pink Jungle&#8221; (1968) features <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001421\/\">George Kennedy<\/a>, who was already pretty well known by this time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001258\/\">James Garner<\/a>, who at this point was best known for playing Maverick (Rockford Files was still a few years away), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0719960\/\">Eva Renzi<\/a>, who was still making movies until the 1990s, but who is probably best known for this and &#8220;Bird With The Crystal Plumage&#8221; (1970).<\/p>\n<p>This is a fun film. I hope someone rediscovers it and gives it the widescreen DVD or Blu-ray release it deserves.<\/p>\n<p>But what the hell is up with that poster?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon&#8217;s movie watching entertainment was &#8220;The Pink Jungle&#8221; (1968).
