I recently came across a fantastically rare piece of video on Steve
Reeves. He apparently made a pilot for a Tarzan television series
back in the 40's, but it never sold. His character, due to copyright
problems with the Burroughs estate, was called Kimbar. Does anyone
know if more episodes were shot, and if Reeves ever referred to this
episode in his career in his interviews or in the published
biographies of him? One website, which offers a DVD version of this
video, refers to it as one of two times Reeves played a jungle
character. Could this be a mistake or a reference to Sandokan or his
Malaysian pirate character?
