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.

Synopsis

In British Malaya, the wife of an owner rubber plantation takes a lover amongst the colonial elite. When he tires of her and takes up with a Chinese woman instead, she shoots him dead. She now faces an investigation.
