Viewing Notes
Another Lex Barker Tarzan for some morning daytime viewing while sorting trash. Besides Lex never growing facial hair or shaving it seems the other ongoing constant is that Jane is always played by a different woman. That’s either a humorous bit or a rather sad one depending on how you look at it. I’d like to read some history on these films.
Also interesting that Jane (Vanessa Brown, in this installment) gets a lot more to do than in the other Tarzan films I’ve seen recently.
And yet once again Cheetah the Chimpanzee is still the best.
