Brenda Starr
Female journalists in the 1940s we only allowed to cover soft news, like, who designed J. Edgar Hoover's ball gown?
Except for the spunky stringer in this action movie, that is.
An artist inserts himself into his own comic strip when his ace reporter character Brenda Starr (Brooke Shields) threatens to leave the series.
Through an avatar (Timothy Dalton) the artist is allowed to enter the Amazonian rainforest alongside the intrepid newshawk as she searches for a scientist with a secret formula being sought by an enemy spy (Jeffrey Tambor) and Brenda's long-time adversary Libby Lipscomb (Diana Scarwid).
Despite being a forerunner of the early-1990s comic-strip movie craze, this 1989 adaptation of the long-running daily is often overlooked. But rest assured, it's as poorly acted, horribly scripted and as campy as all the others of the short-lived sub-genre.
Unfortunately, nowadays, Brenda's jungle adventure would be reduced to a travel blog.
