Tarzan and the Lost Safari


Tarzan and the Lost Safari 1957 is an action adventure film featuring Edgar Rice Burroughs famous jungle hero Tarzan and starring Gordon Scott, Robert Beatty, Yolande Donlan and Betta St. John. The movie was directed by H. Bruce Humberstone, and was the first Tarzan movie released in color, Eastman Color. It was also MGMs first Tarzan film since 1942 and filmed in Nairobi, British East Africa. The character of Jane does not appear in this motion picture.

The film contains more echoes of the original Burroughs novels than usual in a Tarzan movie, including the ape mans allusions to his origin which follows Burroughs version, and the use of Opar, though reducing the romantic lost city described by Burroughs to a generic native village. Tarzan, while retaining the customary film characterization of an inarticulate simpleton, displays considerable shrewdness and resource, foreshadowing the restoration of Burroughs original concept of an intelligent, multitalented ape man in later movies.According to MGM records the film earned 915,000 in the US and Canada and 1.4 million elsewhere, resulting in a profit of 432,000. ........
