About Mistress of the Apes
Jenny Neumann takes a group of men into the jungles of Kenya to look for her husband, and instead finds a tribe of caveman-looking "Near-Men" who all seem terribly attracted to her beautiful blond hair.
Directed by Larry Buchanan, Mistress of the Apes leans on a strong ensemble — Jenny Neumann, Barbara Leigh, Garth Pillsbury — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1979.
