Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes
A shipping disaster in the 19th Century has stranded a man and woman in the wilds of Africa. The lady is pregnant, and gives birth to a son in their tree house. Soon after, a family of apes stumble across the house and in the ensuing panic, both parents are killed. A female ape takes the tiny boy as a replacement for her own dead infant, and raises him as her son. Twenty years later, Captaine Phillippe D'Arnot discovers the man who thinks he is an ape. Evidence in the tree house leads him to believe that he is the direct descendant of the Earl of Greystoke, and thus takes it upon himself to return the man to civilization.

Beautiful. A real view of an ape man clashing with the civilization.

It's a different approach and will not satisfy viewers intent on seeing thrilling fights and derring-do.

As long as they stay in the jungle, this Tarzan may be one of the very best versions of the character you're likely to see.

For all its flaws, Greystoke is still better than the romanticized live-action versions of Tarzan that Hollywood has produced.
