Interesting facts

Nabonga is a 1944 PRC film starring Buster Crabbe and Julie London. It was retitled Jungle Woman in the British Empire.

Production

French West Africa-born Prince Modupe, according to his autobiography, was a Hollywood technical advisor on African films such as Sundown and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. He gives not only a highly sympathetic portrayal of an African, but one who is a friend rather than a servant of Crabbe. In addition to fighting men and a crocodile, Crabbe displays amusing Bob Hope-type comedy when frightened by Julie London's killer gorilla.
