Also in the 1960's TV cartoon show. <br /><br />I read somewhere that RKO considered doing a Tarzan Meets Mighty Joe Young movie ca. 1950, but the project was quickly abandoned. <br /><br />A team-up with the "real" Tarzan and Doc Savage would be cool (their stand-ins, Lord Grandrith and Doc Caliban, met in stories by Philip Jose Farmer). And no one could be better qualified to write it than Will Murray. <br /><br />TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686814973788356726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-59783208798439281432017-01-29T08:23:25.740-08:002017-01-29T08:23:25.740-08:00Nice review.

A raft would be impossible to keep stable during the 3-month return voyage, never mind the issue feeding and hydrating Kong.<br /><br />Will Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865779745723620079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-39649816788178241752017-01-27T14:02:34.090-08:002017-01-27T14:02:34.090-08:00Howdy, Lohr.
