swayze doesn not make a very convincing alan quatermain . compare to stewart granger while which grow up be my ultimate hero in film like the 1952 scaramouche and the 1952 prisoner of zenda and the 1950 king solomon mine while patrick swayze fail utterly . even the portrayal of an old alan quatermain by sean connery in league of extraordinary gentleman be very good in an otherwise big flop . also alison doody lack the grace of deborah kerr in the role of the lead lady and and last but not least the impressive siriaque in the role of umbopa make it very hard for anyone to fill his ( shoe ) . for someone who be disappoint by richard chamberlain 1985 version and i now highly recommend it if you can not get your hand on the granger version .
