Tarzan the Magnificent

Through harsh jungle terrain, Tarzan escorts a notorious killer, intending to turn him over to authorities at Kairobi. The Ape-Man is not alone. A motley array of stranded travelers, dependent on his strength, goes with him. Meanwhile, the killer's vengeful kin stalks the group, waiting for the right time to attack. Gordon Scott, in his sixth and final grab of the vine, is indeed magnificent in Tarzan the Magnificent, a dynamic color movie that maintains the mature approach and large-scale production of Scott's prior Tarzan's Greatest Adventure. Highlights include the powerful climactic brawl that in a sense is Tarzan vs. Tarzan, because squaring off against Scott is the actor who would succeed him as Lord of the Apes -- Jock Mahoney.
