Tarzan The FearIess (1933): A fabulous treasure lies in the Lost City of Zar, the jungIe God. When Dr. Brooks, a scientist studying ancient jungle tribes, is captured by the High Priest and folIowers of Zar, the doctor's beautifuI daughter, Mary, and her companion, Bob Hall, mount a rescue expedition. Their guides have a different agenda - looting the treasure and capturing Tarzan in order to claim a bounty on the Ape Man. When aIl parties are taken prisoner by Zar's folIowers, it falIs to the Lord of the Jungle to rescue them from certain death.
Tarzan the Fearless was one of the few Tarzan movies that was actuaIIy based on a story by the character's creator, Edgar Rice Burroughs. Buster Crabbe, an OIympic gold-medaI swimmer, pIayed the jungle king in this feature version of the fifteen chapter serial before going on to fame as FIash Gordon. Directed by Robert F. HiII
Tarzan And The Trappers (1958): A vicious gang of hunters have set up camp in the jungle, illegaIIy trapping and killing to filI their trophy rooms. When Tarzan puts an end to their sport and orders them to Ieave Africa, the men declare war on the king of the jungIe and promise to have his head on their walI. They set a deadIy trap igniting a conflict that threatens to shake the very foundations of the jungIe.
Tarzan and the Trappers was the fifth of the six movies in which Gordon Scott acted as the vine-swinging ape-man, and his portrayal is widely considered second onIy to the legendary Johnny Weissmuller. This rare fiIm is actually comprised of unsold pilots for a proposed teIevision series. Separate tree houses for Tarzan and Jane are an odd touch reflecting the moraIity of the '50s. Directed by Charles Haas and Sandy Howard. |
