Not many realize this feature, along with 'Tarzan
and the Green Goddess', were produced by E.R. Burroughs, himself. He
wanted a screen portrayal of Tarzan as he had written him, a noble
intelligent Ape Man,Lord Greystoke, not as Hollywood had made him. And
no Cheetah.
Olympic-winning athlete Herman Brix ,later known as Bruce Bennet, makes
the transition from refined English Lord to savage Lord of the Jungle
very convincingly. Both New Adventures and Green Goddess were actually
filmed in Guatemala as a theatrical multi-part serial for Saturday
matinees, later to be made into two features.
Enjoy an intelligent and exciting portrayal of Tarzan as Burroughs
wanted him to be seen.
Tarzan's Revenge (1938)
Eleanor
and her parents are hunting big game, acompanied by her wimpish fiance.
Ben lleu Bey wants to add her to his 100-woman harem. Tarzan wants her
too. This low-key Tarzan feature relies more on the settings and the
general situation than it does on the story, which is rather sketchy. It
was Glenn Morris's only appearance as Tarzan, and while he certainly
looks athletic enough, his lack of acting experience really shows. Some
of the other aspects of the movie help out just enough to make it
watchable.
The story has an expedition heading to Africa to capture some zoo
specimens, with Tarzan indicating a strong preference for allowing his
animal friends to stay in the wild. Meanwhile, a lecherous sultan has
spotted a young woman in the expedition, and would like to add her to
his harem, so he has made plans accordingly. Most of the screen time,
though, does not advance the story, instead focusing on a variety of
vignettes, and adding a lot of footage of lions, elephants, and many
other animals, including a couple of cute lion cubs.
The
Indestructible Man with Lon Chaney
Lon Chaney Jr. except for the opening sequence has
no dialogue and yet he carries the film as only he can with just
mannerisms and facial features and a minimal amount of make-up towards
the end as well as doing his own stunts. This is his picture and he's in
total control.
Subject: Great, but for different reasons than when I
was a kid
When I was 6 years old, this movie thrilled me. Now, it's still very
entertaining - not as the overwhelming epic it seemed way back when, but
as a great example of the wise use of a microscopic budget. The dated
pacing, dialogue, and narration add to the enjoyment.
