Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Ed Hulse
When M-G-M cast Olympic swimming champ Johnny Weissmuller in 1932's Tarzan the Ape Man, the vine-swinging jungle lord created by novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs had already been portrayed on screen by five different actors. But eye-popping glimpses of wild animals, spectacular stunt sequences, and the potent chemistry between Weissmuller and button-cute Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane made this Tarzan an unqualified hit and inspired a similarly successful follow-up, Tarzan and His Mate 1934. The sequel is even better, sporting more action as well as a pronounced emphasis on idyllic eroticism -- perhaps most vividly expressed in an exhibition of nude underwater swimming that was cut by censors but restored for this DVD release. Subsequent series entries, beginning with Tarzan Escapes 1936, avoid such material in favor of family-friendly innovations like the couple's super-sized tree house -- outfitted with jungle equivalents of familiar household devices -- and increased footage for the antics of Cheetah, Tarzan's chimpanzee companion. The trend toward domesticity continues in Tarzan Finds a Son 1939, with five-year-old Johnny Sheffield playing the titular tyke, orphaned in a plane crash and adopted by Tarzan and Jane. The studio's final two series entries, Tarzan's Secret Treasure 1941 and Tarzan's New York Adventure 1942, are quite up to the earlier films: a restive O'Sullivan, who wanted out after the fourth film, is just going through the motions and the once-lithe Weissmuller has gotten appallingly beefy. Nonetheless, these M-G-M Tarzans are still great fun. All six films have top-notch production values, sturdy supporting casts, and well-staged if sometimes formulaic action sequences.
