Tarzan's Fight For Life

It really is remarkable how the color gives these movies more life. I was also interested in how this movie tried to portray the African tribes not as just savage natives, but as having their own political and complicated socialogical issues. We get a witch doctor trying to undermine the local government! Cool stuff!

Tarzan's Fight for Life

Later in life once I got the computer bug I was online and decided to search for him and see how he was doing. I was saddened to see that he passed away April 30, 2007 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA (complications from heart surgery) . Rest in Peace ,Tarzan!

In the third of six films in which he starred as Tarzan, former lifeguard Gordon Scott (who was the first to essay the role in colour) gets a new Jane, Eve Beck, and gets to wrestle a live eighteen-and-a-half foot python in the film's best sequence. Otherwise it is business as usual when Tarzan's friendship with a doctor running a hospital in the jungle brings him into conflict with a tribal witch doctor and his superstitious followers. Veteran director Bruce Humberstone tries to keep the action moving, but a trite script and studio-bound settings defeat him. 041b061a72
