(1952) Tamer Balci, Hayri Esen, Necla Aygül, Cemil Demirel, Ismail Kara. A must for bad movie lovers. This is the first Turkish Tarzan movie. There’s no use being polite just because it was made in a country whose film industry “struggled”—this is a pretty horrible movie. Awful acting, awful everything. Much of the music score simply consists of someone putting on Debussy’s Afternoon of a Faun or Holst’s Uranus, the Sorcerer and letting them play. The comic relief is UNBEARABLE! Some of the action sequences are okay and the final scenes where the natives are tossing people to the crocodiles are somewhat effective, but it’s likely this movie would make Burroughs roll over in his grave. Cool. 35mm.
