Savage Drums Reviews

Even Sabu got on the anti-Communist bandwagon of the early 1950s, starring in this trying story in which the young jungle hero plays a boxer studying in the US, having left his island home open to the plans of no-good Reds Marion and Geray. The trite story runs dully to its conclusion, over some very tired attempts at comedy. SAVAGE DRUMS was the last film former child star Sabu was to make in the US for five years, the vogue for Eastern adventures having run its course and Sabu himself having grown into a chunky-cheeked young man. Thereafter, he tried unsuccessfully to salvage his career in foreign films, until he returned to Hollywood in 1956.
