What happens

Woman in the Jungle (German: Weib im Dschungel) is a 1931 American drama film directed by Dimitri Buchowetzki and starring Charlotte Ander, Ernst Stahl-Nachbaur and Erich Ponto. It was shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris as the German-language version of The Letter. Such multiple-language versions were common during the early years of sound before dubbing became widespread. Like the original it was based on the 1927 play The Letter by W. Somerset Maugham.
