White Savage is a 1943 American Technicolor South Seas adventure film directed by Arthur Lubin and starring Maria Montez, Jon Hall and Sabu.
Jon Hall plays a heroic shark hunter who wins the day and the heart of the princess.
White Savage had been the original title for Montez's first starring vehicle, South of Tahiti (1941).
[2] Arabian Nights was so popular that Universal commissioned two follow-up movies to star Montez, Hall and Sabu – White Savage and Cobra Woman.
[6] Diabolique said "Not as well known as Montez's later camp classic Cobra Woman (1944) (to be fair, all her American films are camp classics), White Savage is actually a better movie – Montez and Hall seem to genuinely like each other (not always the case in their films), Richard Brooks’ script is clever and there's plenty of action and gorgeous photography.
