Tarzan and the Lost Safari (1957)

Directed by Bruce Humberstone
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Tarzan in color and widescreen for the first time. A plane full of rich white people get drunk and bicker among themselves, then crash land. Tarzan rescues them and then leads them through the jungle. A "bad" jungle tribe is after them to make a sacrifice to their god, with the help of a white hunter who has lied to Tarzan and the party about his involvement. Tarzan figures it all out. Some horrendous special effects, especially in the plane at the beginning, but it settles down nicely and turns out to be one of the better Tarzan movies since the 30s.
