    Non-Genre Tarzan could keep you Occupied
    THE STORY & GENRE -- Serial 266 minutes. No feature version known. Animal communication is my hallmark for Tarzan as genre, but that's not the case here. Unless you count fighting a gorilla, which I don't, not genre.

    THE VERDICT -- Feats of strength, and pre-code girls in skimpy outfits, to keep you occupied. Otherwise, it's kind of dopey, and Frank Merrill's acting is quite limited, but OK, it's Tarzan. I'll give it a 6.5.

    FREE ONLINE -- Yes, mainly in pretty rough but watchable condition.
