Tarzan Goes to India (1962)


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

Jock Mahoney takes over the Tarzan role with limited success. He's tall and skinny, a shock compared to the muscular Gordon Scott, but speaks normally with a full vocabulary. He goes to India to help save a herd of elephants endangered by a dam. He befriends an Indian boy who lives in the jungle with his own elephant, and together they must kill a rogue before guiding the herd through a mountain pass. The predictable plot is somewhat redeemed by location shooting.
