The best Tarzan film of the series' later years, with a spare, literate script by Berne Giler and director John Guillermin, intelligent use of natural settings and good performances in the bad-guy department from 29-year-old Sean Connery, as a villainous Irishman, and Anthony Quayle, as Tarzan's principal adversary. The girls are worth seeing, too. America's Sara Shane is the girl who once had a picture of herself printed in two halves (waist-up and waist-down) in successive issues of a magazine, as a (very successful) publicity stunt; Italy's Scilla Gabel is a poor man's Sophia Loren. Gordon Scott is a fine Tarzan who quit the role all too soon.
