I've been saw Tarzan fighting, facing all dangerous assignments, but never saw him overdue!!!

Disappointed was the exact meaning for Tarzan behavior so far, I saw Tarzan on fights, hard assignments, arrested sometimes, but never saw he so haggard by Jane allegedly dead, he was overdue, it' sounds weakness as never seen before, a low point, the ivory hunters achieved what anyone gets previously, the movie starts with an outdated and tiresome formula, when Tarzan meets Jane on Tree' house in those warm up scene introducing a new Jane (Joyce Mackenzie), with Cheetah on funny sequence, then came up the Ivory hunters leading by a cruel and heartless Lyra as She-Devil (Monique Van Vooren) and the great Raymond Burr playing a mad dog with a threatening whip ready to be used, at least Jane has a plenty acting on the movie, wasn't a simple eye-candy who stay safe at home, the screenplay is far-fetched appealing in so many stock footage on mostly Indians Elephants instead the large ones Africans with big ears, the final is simply-mindedly pitiful, sorry for Lex Barker on so sad farewell!!

Resume:

First watch: 2020 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 5.5

Trivia
This was Lex Barker's fifth and final appearance as Tarzan. He spent much of the rest of his film career making movies in Europe, where his having played Tarzan (and his marriage to Lana Turner) had made him a household name.
