Why isn't this great film on video, 19 August 1999
10/10
Author: Daniel Phelan (dphelan@acs.ryerson.ca) from Toronto, Ontario

I went to see this film originally on a double bill with a Hammer horror film. I came out liking TGA better. From the tense opening scenes, the great photography, fine acting by all to the exciting conclusion, this is the BEST Tarzan film of all time! Why aren't TGA and Tarzan ther Magnificent available on video for all to enjoy ?
