Tarzan gets a young look, something better others not quite !!!
11 August 2019
Sol Lesser replaces Weissmuller after he was getting older, then come out a new one Lex Barker with Brenda Joyce as Jane, the story is great, as the early Tarzan's stories , a magic fountain that supply a youth almost forever arouse a greedy from two men Mr. Trask and Mr. Dodd who intent to sell it to make a fortune, somehow Baker is quite distinct from Johnny Weissmuller, something better as younger, suitable to the role, and mainly running away from those stereotyped dumb style imposed by Weissmuller and others no quite, he sounds a bit cold, distant, lack and worst when he uses those stupid shoes, Joyce is the same, gorgeous than never, the picture was made on Tarzan's back lot and on a lavish sound stage, the special effects is quite effective, and the village at the Magic Fountain is amazing and extremely embellished by dozen of beauties, cheetah gave to the picture a guidance well-humored!!!
