If you are a Tarzan fan and have not seen this
one, then by all means find a copy and watch it, but be sure to get the
full 63 minutes. I have seen an edited version on TV which leaves out a
lot of good shots. Since it is silent I will let the story boards I captured
tell the summary. (I did not capture them all, but you can follow the story
from what I did capture.) I have been told that this is the closest any
Tarzan film has ever come to following the book. I have not read the book
so I can not say for sure.
However, I will add that since this is a silent
film facial expressions are very important, and it is my opinion that in
this respect Gordon Griffith (Tarzan as a boy) was the best actor in the
film. I tried to capture this in the shots below, but they are not the
same in still shots.
If you are interested in purchasing movies,
Try CDNOW's movie
section.
Young Tarzan is nude for quite a while in the early part of the move, his bare bottom is seen often, but to avoid offending anyone, I picked my captures carefully not to show it.
