If you have enjoyed all the original Tarzan series like I have, then you will enjoy this well narrated documentary by Rudy Behlmer. As a child, I have watched most of the Tarzan series on B&W television starring Johnny Weismiller and Maureen O'Sullivan. Rudy does a wonderful job at describing all six Tarzan movies in the series. Rudy goes "behind the scenes" with wonderful footage showing what made the series so popular. They show how Tarzan wrestled with real rhinos and mechanical crocodiles. They reveal how Tarzan and Jane's yell was made and what made it popular. Sensorship became a big deal after the early thirties, and Janes revealing costume had to sport more coverage around her thighs. The documentary shows many of these uncut scenes. If you enjoyed in the series you will like this documentary. I'll leave you with one final message. . . . "ungowa".

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
