...rumor has it that she even took off her shirt to wrestle with an alligator, but, alas, that scene was left on the cutting room floor by censors. She even takes off her shirt during the final credits to wrestle around in the sand with Tarzan and an orangutan, in a menagerie a trois that amounts to little more than kinky sex. It'll probably be the first time you stick around until the credits end and the projector shuts off--"but Mom, I want to see who the gaffer is!" But it's not worth the price of admission...

An orangutan called Clyde does cute monkeyshines that recall the heyday of Jack Lescoulie and J. Fred Muggs on the Today show. Sondra Locke, a pretty good actress and an Eastwood protégée, comes on to sing the obligatory country-and-western songs in a modified screech...
