Luana: Anyone ever see this?

[Ed_Laprade]

Decided to re-read my old paperback Luana (Novelization by Alan Dean Foster, cover by Frazetta) and got curious about it. My google-fu turned up very little. It was an Italian/West German film made in '68. The novelization came out here in '74. I looked for the film when I first read the book, but if it ever showed up where I live, I must have blinked and missed it. Full movie title: Luana la Figlia delle Foresta Vergine. Foster's book is a good (Tarzanesque) Jungle Girl novel, probably a lot better than the movie it was based on.

Oh... and by the way, the movie is also available on Amazon and Netflix. Search terms you need are... Luana Karzan

That will yield the treasure you seek.
