Jondee here in Fair Verona “where we lay our scene”, Shakespeare is fascinating in the different time periods revealing something of the characters and forms (a musical like West Side Story).

Jondee here at the Belgian Congo, The “Me Tarzan” stereotype is persistent, even nodded to in this film, but the character apart from Johnny Weismuller to Ron Ely went through many incarnations. The closest was Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, but that film went astray and of course there was even a Disney cartoon. I […]
