Tarzan's Desert Mystery

Tarzan's Desert Mystery is a 1943 Johnny Weissmuller film. The film revolves around Tarzan's quest to find a rare African fever medicine to help Allied troops during World War II. Again, the propaganda nature of these WW2-era films does not engage me, and I only watched it for Weissmuller. I can't find it online right now, but I don't hurt for your loss.

    1. Yes, but I don't think anybody can top the WW2 propaganda efforts.

  7. Maybe no one can top WWII propaganda, but it seems Trump tries propaganda daily.

    1. I hate to dignify his ignorant lies as "propaganda". I think of propaganda as actually organized ;)

  9. I don't care for the propaganda films, either, even though I have watched several if I like the actors. ;)

    1. Yes. I mean this isn't so much a propaganda film, I don't guess, as a film that takes place during WW2. But they're much the same to me, and with rare exceptions I don't like war-time films.
