I've already checked out a bunch of sites that I didn't know.

And of course I always remember that Andie MacDowell's voice was dubbed over. I do want to revisit it at some point.<br /><br />At least you didn't have to review Bo & John Derek's Tarzan, the Ape Man from a few years earlier.<br /><br />Thanks for being a part of the blogathon, Dan.Forgotten Filmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674207170929931815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-26439714908409016902014-08-27T20:07:09.481-05:002014-08-27T20:07:09.481-05:00Cool.

Had to google why Andie's voice was dubbed over - apparently Glenn Close was being considered for the role but lost out to Andie - then the film makers decided they didn't care for Andie MacDowell's southern drawl. weird.

I thought it was beautifully filmed, but it seemed to miss the mark. "Boring" is the work I always use to describe it.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-14480498505577018582014-08-26T20:19:30.529-05:002014-08-26T20:19:30.529-05:00Sorry about that.

You're definitely not missing out with Greystoke.

The first problem is that a friend of mine saw it and told me exactly what you just said, it's boring. The second, thank my raging early teen hormones for this, I knew it didn't include Bo Derek cavorting about with nothing on like Tarzan, The Ape Man did a couple years earlier. Good review. Don't think I'll ever find myself hunkering down to take this one in.<br /><br />Off-topic: a few weeks back Eric @ The Warning Sign passed you the baton on a relay that I started.
