Interesting facts

Devil Goddess is a 1955 American adventure film, the sixteenth and final film in a series of jungle-based adventures from Columbia Pictures starring Johnny Weissmuller, the first thirteen of which feature the comic strip character Jungle Jim. It is the last of three films featuring Weismuller as an idealized version of himself, clearly based on the Jungle Jim character. The film was produced by Sam Katzman and also features Ed Hinton, William Tannen and Angela Stevens. It was written by George H. Plympton from a story by Dwight Babcock.

Production

After production for Devil Goddess came to a finish, Weissmuller quit acting in feature films though he made appearances in The Phynx (1970) and Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976).

Ira Morgan was cinematographer, and the set decorator was Sidney Clifford. Mischa Bakaleinikoff headed the musical direction, and Aaron Stell edited the film. Principal photography began on December 14, 1954, and ended on December 21, 1954.

Archived footage from preceding Jungle Jim films, including Mark of the Tiger (1950), Pygmy Island (1950), Voodoo Tiger (1952), Killer Ape (1953), and Savage Mutiny (1953), is featured in the film.
