Poster for the movie Jane and the Lost City

Jane and the Lost City (1987)

Moderately amusing adventure film based on a British wartime comic strip has the title character (Kirsten Hughes) and her boss, the Colonel (Robin Bailey), traveling to Africa in pursuit of diamonds that Nazi agents (led by “Lola Pagola,” played by Maud Adams) also are seeking. Sam Jones costars as a guide who ends up helping Jane and the Colonel. The best sequences are probably those involving the unsuccessful German assassins out to eliminate the Brits.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 201 for 2021.
