TARZAN (1960'S TV SERIES) - DVD-FIRST SEASON, PART ONE

Details

• Release Year: 1966
• Genre: Action/Adventure
• Plot: Premiering on NBC in 1966, Edgar Rice Burroughs immortal creation, TARZAN, took to the nation's TV screens for the first time. Still in the capable hands of producer Sy Weintraub, the TV Tarzan (Ron Ely) continued the more recent (and more authentic) interpretation of Lord Greystoke as a sophisticated, articulate jungle adventurer as seen in the Tarzan films of Gordon Scott, Jack Mahoney and Mike Henry. Also carried over from the big screen was young actor Manuel Padilla ('Tarzan and the Valley of Gold', 'Tarzan and the Great River'), now playing the jungle lord's sidekick alongside Cheetah, the simian one. The first half of his inaugural season finds Tarzan rescuing seeing-eye lions, endangered leopards and pampered princes while battling man-eaters, despots and deadly arachnids in this 4-Disc, 15-Epsiode collection. Guest stars include former Tarzan Jack Mahoney, 'Star Trek's' Nichelle Nichols, Woody Strode and Russ Tamblyn.;
