This isn't a trailer, it's a fan-made clip — but a well done clip. It makes the movie look pretty darn good.

The good news is, YouTube has the full movie with a pretty good picture.

The bad news is, I scanned through the movie twice to be sure my initial post (written from an old Lenard Maltin movie guide) was accurate when it said the movie included borrowed dinosaurs from One Million B.C..

It doesn't.

I edited the posts, removing the reference to the dinos. But the movie seems to be pretty exciting.

And frankly Johnny Sheffield makes a better Tarzan than Johnny Weissmuller. I've never liked the fact that the Ape Man was portrayed as constantly deadpan, seemingly dimwitted, and completely illiterate.

That is NOT the way Tarzan is portrayed in ERB's novels. Just the opposite, in fact.
