I recall squirming at most of the Tarzan/Dinky/little kid scenes though, and being disappointed at how childish it all was (as if they'd have aimed a movie like this at adults--but apparently that's what I'd have preferred). I remember not liking Mike Henry at all as Tarzan, and thought he was a stiff, unconvincing actor. That said, when it got released by Warner Archives on DVD a few years ago, I thought enough of it to buy it and--what do you know? It was a lot better than I remembered--and very entertaining. Mike Henry's not that bad (I still don't buy him as Tarzan though) and some of the location photography is downright stunning. But, yeah-- that music--Arg! It's so distracting it's a major flaw.<br /><br />Great review!<br /><br />--Mark Mark Shawnoreply@blogger.com
