Tarzan And The Slave Girl (1950)

A "lost" city in the jungle has its female population decimated due to a strange illness so the King's counselor (Anthony Caruso) kidnaps nubile maidens to keep the population going. But when Jane (Vanessa Brown, THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR) is kidnapped, Tarzan (Lex Barker) springs into action. This rather preposterous entry in the Tarzan franchise seems cobbled together but if you're a fan of the series then you may have a tolerance for this sort of nonsense. Directed by the hack Lee Sholem (SUPERMAN AND THE MOLE MEN), the film benefits from the saucy presence of Denise Darcel as a native girl (though her French accent is never explained) with aspirations to be a Queen. Hurd Hatfield, a long way from the classiness of PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, is the King of the jungle kingdom while Alan's dad, Robert Alda is the shiftless guide with eyes for Darcel. With Arthur Shields and can someone explain the supposed "adorableness" of the annoying Cheetah because I don't get it!
