This is the last of the Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movies and unfortunately it's a damp squib. The charm of the early movies is lost as a tired plot limps towards the inevitably rushed and predictable finale. The setting is at odds with earlier movies being filmed quite obviously (from the extra's alone) in Mexico.
The plot is terribly weak and Brenda Joyce lacks any of the charm of Maureen O'Sullivan who was such an integral part of the success of the early Tarzan films. There is also a lack of any jungle animals those being replaced by an octopus.
Even for the time this really is a poor effort, it's as if they had all just given up. Only a few impressive diving scenes and it's historical value make this film worth watching.
Even for the most ardent Tarzan fan this is desperately disappointing fare.
