"The Face of Eve" is a not particularly good film that probably isn't worth your time. However, if you like films like "Sheena" or other Tarzan knockoffs, you might want to give it a try...but I wouldn't.
Mike Yates (Robert Walker Jr.) is an adventurer who is in the Amazon region looking for some treasure. Along the way, a beautiful and VERY well-coiffed savage girl, Eve (Celeste Yarnall), comes to his rescue.
Later, after Mike is able to get to a town he tells folks about Eve...which is a problem since another woman is calling herself 'Eve' and is ingratiating herself to Eve's real grandfather, the Colonel (Christopher Lee). Well, the jig is up and the faux Eve and her baddie boyfriend (Herbert Lom) rob the grandpa and leave him for dead. Fortunately, Mike comes along and saves the guy...who now wants to partner up with Mike to find the treasure and his long-lost granddaughter.
There's no denying that this is a bad movie. Although Ms. Yarnall is lovely, she doesn't really get to talk* or act...just stand about in her leopard print bikini. As for the story itself, it's a cheapo jungle film complete with the usual trappings. At least the film didn't overuse stock footage of various jungle animals...like too many of these old films do.
By the way, both Walker and Yarnall made appearances on "Star Trek" and it was interesting to see them doing something different. Not GOOD but INTERESTING.
*The fact that the film is bad is something I rather expected because I usually read through the IMDB trivia before I watch a movie...and there are MANY signs the film would be terrible. They didn't even use Yarnall's voice in post-production! So, the voice you hear is actually some other lady...not Yarnall.
