Tarzan and the Valley of Gold (1966)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Robert Day
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Mike Henry, former football player, makes a beefy but gentle Tarzan debut. He leads a lion, a leopard, a chimp and a boy through the Mexican jungle to the titular lost city of gold. They are pursued by a bad guy with a fascination for blowing things up with small gadgets. Obviously inspired by the popularity of James Bond, it's dated and cliche now. It's plagued by an overabundance of anthropomorphic chimp antics and stock footage of wild animals.
