THE BIG SIX #6: TARZAN OF THE APES, Continued.

Gordon Scott's last Tarzan film, 1960.

A surprisingly complex literary character, ERB's Ape-Man is a multi-linguistic, educated man who in an instant reverts to the feral, ferocious beast he really is. The movies have diluted and repackaged him, also divesting him of his Super-Human strength and feral qualities. The novels present this Super-Human, and the whole saga, in the context of myth. Modern Mythology.
