This was the second Tarzan movie in 1959, and it includes footage from MGM's
King Solomon's Mines and other films, telling a visually patchworked story of how Jane found Tarzan, or vice-versa. The English woman Jane Parker (
Joanna Barnes) travels to Africa with her father (
Robert Douglas) to look for a legendary elephant cemetery. Her fiance travels with them but as everyone knows by now, Tarzan saves them and the elephants and wins Jane away from her would-be husband. Tarzan is played by Dennis Miller (a UCLA basketball star), one in a long series of Tarzans starting with
Elmo Lincoln in 1918. Consensus puts this version of the "Tarzan meets Jane" saga decidedly below the 1932 effort. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
