Tarzan's Greatest Adventure
is a 1959 British film directed by John Guillerman. Unique in many ways, TGA ( as it is sometimes known) features a literate Tarzan portrayed by Gordon Scott,no Jane or Cheetah ( except for terse goodbye scene), a tense and brilliant script, and two interesting villains played by Anthony Quayle and Sean Connery just before he became famous as the first cinematic James Bond.

This film was the first colour Tarzan filmed entirely in Africa. It also portrayed a grittier more realistic Tarzan who could be as savage as his opponents but could also speak eloquently and politely to a woman Sara Shane who gets involved in the plot.

It should have heralded a whole new direction for Tarzan but instead produced only one sequel Tarzan the Magnificent and two follow ups with a different actor Jock Mahoney as Tarzan. Mahoney played the villain in Tarzan the Magnificent and inherited the lead in Tarzan Goes to India and Tarzan's Three Challenges.
