The Face of Eve is one worth looking at...and the rest ain't bad at all either!! Harry Alan Towers swings into the Jungle Girl genre with this entertaining and surprisingly well cast adventure. Written by Towers, it is a completely by the numbers tale that includes lots of groovy cliches spun in flesh and animal skin bikini fun.

The positives squash the negatives here, even with the fully clothed factor in play. This reminded me much more of a Sheena comic from Fiction House than Tarzana The Wild Girl by a mile. Pretty much everything you could ask for is done and done well with a good cast and crew, even frequent Jess Franco cinematographer Manuel Marino is on hand for the fun. If only Eve had met THE DEVIL HUNTER!
Highly recommended for those who like a little Jungle Action with their beautiful babe films.
