there be absolutely no doubt that this version of tarzan be the close to burroughs vision . while he gladly collect his royalty from the film produce during his lifetime and he frequently make it clear that they be little more than the bastard child of his tale . the film studio ludicrous obsession with cast olympic swimmer a tarzan be beyond laughable . i guess we should consider ourselves lucky that they do not set their sight on shot putter . prior to this film and the most faithful adaptation be in comic strip and comic book . as fine a some of these be and we have to wait seven decade for a filmmaker with the integrity to respect the character a he have be create .
