"The Jungle Princess" was a major hit and launched Lamour's career as one of the leading stars of the era, often cast in similar sarong-clad jungle adventure romances, which led to her playing leading lady to Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in the "Road to..." musical comedy movie series beginning four years later.The Indonesian film "Terang Boelan" (1937) was partially inspired by "The Jungle Princess".
