Filmed in 1956 in both a CinemaScope 2.35:1 version and a 1.37:1 "flat" version. The UK theatrical release in the summer of 1958 was of the CinemaScope version, but subsequent television showings in...

I did some research on the film, when I was in the UK, going through old Kine Weekly magazines. Originally the film was planned as an RKO Radio release in a process called RKO-Scope, and as far as I...

Ogle, doesn't Lord Greystoke still speak "Me Tarzan - you Jane" here? Isn't it in Scott's next two terrific ones that he's more Burroughsesque? -Craig

Re: TARZAN AND THE LOST SAFARI
