'Tiger Fangs' is a 1943 American adventure/thriller film directed by Sam Newfield and starring Frank Buck and June Duprez. It was distributed Producers Releasing Corporation. The film's sets were designed by the art director Paul Palmentola.
Plot
Frank Buck tangles with Nazis who have been doping tigers in Malaya, thereby making man-eaters of them. With the cats on a rampage, rubber production is seriously curtailed and the Allied war effort jeopardized. Buck and his associates, Peter Jeremy, Geoffrey MacCardle and Linda McCardle, thwart the Teutonic malefactors: the villainous Nazi Dr. Lang (Arno Frey) and his portly accomplice Henry Gratz. Thereafter, life is safe once again in the jungle.

Reception
Juves should find this Frank Buck actioner exciting. It's a fiction piece, and not the usual jungle travelogueJune Duprez is as attractive a biologist as one could hope to meet up with in the middle of the jungle.Variety, Nov 24, 1943
The animal shots are eye-filling, as usual, and especially well photographedThey're
convincing enoughto keep the younger generation glued to movie house seats. Sam Newfield directed with a good sense of melodramatic action, and it is Mr. Buck himself who gives the stand-out performance. The jungle fellow is a right natural actor.Irene Thirer, New York Post, Nov 24, 1943
