I always want to see the aging veteran ballplayer play that one last season. Most of the time, they shouldn't - but I want to see it anyway. Why? Because I love those guys and want to prolong the experience of seeing them perform as long as possible.
Alas, Tarzan & The Mermaids is your classic example of taking a film series one film too long. The should have stopped with the fine Tarzan & The Huntress. But hey, what can you do?
Filmed down in Mexico on a buck-and-a-half, Tarzan & The Mermaids is a total cheapo with long interludes of silence, as though it were indeed shot as a silent film.
The film is dull, the plot, hell, who cares? This film was the perfect transition for Johnny Weissmuller to transition into Jungle Jim. The time had come.
I hate saying this, but this one isn't even for true devotees. Catch the ones where he fights the Nazi's instead. Those are great!
