Tarzán y el tesoro Kawana

Deadly dull disappointment ensues on viewing this film, truly the most static of all Tarzan films. Despite the on-location shooting no excitement is generated. Richard Yestaran looks just like Tarzan should look, hearkening back to the original engravings in the Burroughs Tarzan first editions. His naturally magnificent physique (not over-defined like a body builder's) is perfect for the role and the required display. His hair is semi-long but not inappropriately styled. However, he's given far too little to do in the film and no action sequences at all. His character is effectively reduced to forest warden and tour guide throughout a tiresome travelogue. None of the other characters are developed enough to engender the slightest interest, although the younger man in the expedition had some potential. The plot is negligible and the photography is as murky as the dialogue. Contrast this with the gripping final two Gordon Scott Tarzan films and you'll see the vast chasm in quality between them. Truly this is Tarzan and the Lost Opportunity. It gets a 3 out of 10 for Richard Yestaran's appearance only.
