Introducing Dorothy Danridge

Introducing Dorothy Danridge was a made-for-cable biopic about the late Hollywood actress, who was played in the movie by Halle Berry.

Of all the movies that Danridge did, the makers of her biopic chose Tarzan's Peril. And of all of the scenes from that film they could have recreated, they chose this one.

Danridge's jungle queen character gets captured by the bad guys and is tied up in a hut.

But no worries, because Tarzan arrives just in the nick of time to rescue her.

The biopic has a funny moment when the actor playing Tarzan starts having trouble untying Berry's ankles. This scene is fantastic--it's one of my faves--but Introducing Dorothy Danridge is very good overall. Brent Spiner, best known as Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, also co-stars as her agent.
