Title: GREAT FUN!
Review: This 1932 effort is surprisingly very entertaining and even a little racy when seen today. The photography is excellent and the elements in the story are imaginitive. Maureen O'Sullavan is a darling Irish colleen in this early (for her) picture and no one could equal Weissmuller's Tarzan yell. Neil Hamilton was such an inept ham actor (his ridiculous style was finally parodied to good use in the BATMAN TV series!) A sequel, made in 1934 entitled TARZAN AND HIS MATE is a lyric film which expresses the beauty and danger of the jungle; it's a romance of the highest order(!) Johnny eventually lost his awkwardness as an actor (a remarkable feat for an Olympic swimming champion) and his portrayal of THE classic Edgar Rice Burroughs character remains the most esteemed of all the many actors who attempted the role over the years.
