While Gordon Scott was not the best actor in the world he actually made the best pre-Greystoke Tarzan movie. The story is exciting with Tarzan pitted against a murderous band of criminals led by Slade (wonderfully played and made totally believable by the late and very great Anthony Quayle). He is assisted in his brutal endeavours by a youngish Sean Connery as O'Bannion just before he became a megastar in his Bond movies. I loved the quicksand sequences - is there something wrong with me? I reckon a really good remake could be a blockbuster action movie. Mind you I am not a huge fan of remakes - there is no point in trying to gild the lily!! Anyway it has been a number of years since I saw this movie but it has stayed with me - I saw it three or possibly four times as a youngster and enjoyed it lots every time. I am watching it again as I type and given it's age it still stands up as a great action picture. Many, if not most of the Tarzan films tended towards the cheesy side of things and are a bit of an embarrassment to watch now but I imagine this would still hold up as an action film even now.
