An Indispensable source for the Tarzan movies

David Fury's KINGS OF THE JUNGLE is an indispensable sourcebook of information on the Tarzan movies. It is well-researched and includes detailed information on dates, production, and actors. A long story synopsis is provided with critical reviews for every Tarzan movie and television series up to 1994. Rather than skipping this one for the Gabe Essoe book, which IS loaded with photographs, it would be well to buy both! It is a book that can be read with pleasure as well as being a splendid ready reference.
