Lacking entry, but Eve Brent shines as Jane., 9 June 2007
6/10
Author: petick

Overall, this film is rather bland, but it is the addition of Eve Brent as Jane that sparks this film. She has a radiant beauty that exudes in the color tones of the film.

Additionally, the scene where Gordon Scott's Tarzan carries Jane down the river bank will delight and have every male wishing he was Tarzan. Even though this is not a romantic scene per se, as Jane is suffering from appendicitis, it still portrays as a very lovely and sexy, as the viewer gets an overwhelming serving of Jane's cheesecake in Tarzan's arms.

Unfortunately, Ms. Brent disappears from much of the middle part of the film, but still steals the show and vaults herself as one of the best and most beautiful Janes ever.
