Tarzán y los cazadores

George Scott's Tarzan is very much like Superman and this "film" is probably modelled on the old Superman TV show. This is three episodes of a planned series edited into a movie and it works. I think the use of three directors and stories gives the film more structure and diversity of tone than the typical films from that period.

The first story details evil white hunters hurting animals and meeting Tarzan. Part two has the hunters hunting Tarzan like game and the third has Tarzan getting revenge for his tribesman friend (played by Scatman Crothers!). Its cheap and stagey, but well shot and the action is good. There's the usual inserts of safari footage but its good footage of cute and exotic animals. The treatment of the black characters is well done. Jane and Boy are barely in this but the cast is good. Gordon Scott is really a very good Tarzan, so it all comes off well.

Minus color, effects and a multimillion dollar budget, this is comparable to today's superhero films. Modest fun.
