The New Adventures of Tarzan 04/01/25

Known to Tarzan fans and almost nobody else is this four-hour serial filmed parallel with MGM’s series, and officially produced by Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs himself. The one-movie Tarzan is Herman Brix, later known as Bruce Bennett; his interpretation of the role is solid and his physical presence is excellent. Filmed in Guatemala, it’s as patchy and repetitive as most serials, but some of the scenery and stunt work is very good. This one takes Lord Greystoke to Central America, on a Safari to a Mayan ‘Dead City’ ruled by a savage Queen. On Blu-ray from Film Masters.
