What is a Tarzan film without the Tarzan yell?

As a child what I enjoyed and looked forward to was the Tarzan yell. I was a bit disappointed when there was no Tarzan yell in this outing. I recently acquired a mint 16mm print of this film complete with leaders and all credits. I found the film enjoyable and actually enjoyed the plot.

As the plot has been well reviewed I will not go into it again. Enjoyable family entertainment. I liked Brenda Joyce as Jane. She had a reasonable part to play and it was pleasant to see Tarzan, Jane and Boy shopping like any normal family and Tarzan having to contend with house hold chores, fixing the shower.

This film surprised me. The title and synopsis was not too inviting. But as I had acquired a reasonable condition 16mm print of the movie I watched it and was pleasantly surprised. The main theme is the father's obsession to "ride" the Niagara river and the falls and how this obsession impacts his two sons. There also is a sub plot regarding the struggle between father and daughter-in-law for the attention of the elder son. It was enjoyable to see a young Burt Young and Randy Quaid. As far as content advisory goes: There is one scene where the eldest son and his wife are looking for an intimate time in the bedroom. There is no nudity or sex scene portrayed and the couple is shown briefly kissing. No profane language. A movie suitable for all ages.

I recently acquired a 16mm film print of Billy Two Hats. Upon reading most of the reviews on the film, my expectation was not too high. However, upon watching the film - incidentally the 16mm print was in very good condition - I was pleasantly surprised. The film was enjoyable and I appreciated the way the story unfolded, not to slow or fast. I enjoyed the pace. The film, in my opinion was a bit short and possibly there was scope to explore the friendship between the characters portrayed by Gregory Peck and Desi Anaz Junior. The language is not to offensive and the obligatory love scene is very tastefully handled with most of it being left to the imagination and being implied with no nudity or heavy breathing and sweating. The word unpretentious comes to mind as a description of the film. I found it entertaining and a film well worth adding to my 16mm collection. A worthy investment. Robert Fourie - South Africa.
