  1. This is a middle of the road adventure but nice introduction to Brenda Joyce. She had a wholesome sexiness and great legs.She worked well with both Johnnys-unfortunetly the writers made her quite bland.
    Johnny looks ok in this entry but would really tone up for the next adventure.

  2. Agreed about Brenda - RKO definitely dropped the ball with her & Weissmuller not rekindling the steamy love affair evident in the MGM series.

    That said, I think the scene with Tarzan carrying Athena, played by Shirley O'Hara, back to Palymria was lovely, even quite sexy in its own right. Think about it from Tarzan's perspective - he hadn't been with a woman in two years - and sees this leggy pretty young lady in a leopard mini-dress in peril. He didn't need much prodding to sweep Athena up and carry her honeymoon style for miles through a mountain range back to the Amazon village.
