I just read a post by @wildlittlefan asking us if we would like to be in the jungle. I´t reminded me of a movie I saw many decades ago. It was called The Naked Jungle (1954) and it starred Charlton Heston and Eleanor Parker, two greats of the XX century cinema. I have seen "bugs" films, but this is by far the best as it is the story of the march of the marabuntas, the killer ants, through the jungle and over a plantation.

I checked it online and it can be seen ay youtube.

I saw that movie last year on a TV channel which shows the old classics. Very good movie.

I know I´m old. But it seems that old movies are a lot better than most of new movies.

@Kandae11 I don´t know if they were more or less violent. But the argument was well written so there wasn´t violence without meaning.

@marguicha I agree to some extent. They were less violent at least. I have seen marabuntas in my country - but luckily I was never bitten.

I think I saw some parts of the movie, but not the entire story. It must be a very good movie with lots of appeals to the senses. I should watch it one of these days
