Overview
The lost jungle is an examination of serials and their place within the American film industry and American culture. Extending the picture of what was screened during the Great Depression and the Second World War, it looks at Flash Gordon but also at less familiar science fiction, western, jungle and crime serials. It examines the cliffhanger but also other ways in which the serial's episodic form was used to break up the narrative and heighten melodramatic tension. It looks beyond the Saturday matinee to investigate the adult as well as child appeal of a form of cinema based on mystery and fast-paced action, challenging the understanding of classical Hollywood as a cinema based on narrative coherence and the stand-alone film.
