The Naked Jungle (1954) :It's 1901. At 19, tough, stubborn Christopher Leiningen came to South America and built levees to claim thousands of acres of Rio Negro river land for a chocolate plantation. Now 34, with no knowledge of women, he recruits a mail-order bride in New Orleans. She's beautiful, independent, and arrives ready to be his stalwart helpmate; however, no one has told him she's a widow. He rejects her. During the next week, as she awaits the boat to take her back to the US, they learn that legions of army ants will strike in a few days' time. A massive horde of South American army ants threatening to eat him out of house and home, literally. She joins the fight to save the plantation, their courage and his probable loss of all he's worked for may crack his resolve to send her away. Based on the famous Carl Stephenson short story Leninnen Versus the Ants, this is pretty negligible as drama, but the ant special effects are first-rate. The picture does for picnics what Psycho did for showers.
