2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
LeonLouisRicci Another Adventurous Tarzan Movie from MGM (the last for the Studio). Everyone Remembers this one Fondly, probably because it Removes Tarzan from the Jungle and places Him in the "Asphalt Jungle". It Works just Fine and is a welcome Diversion and Adds a bit of Spice to the Formula.Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Johnny Sheffield continue Their Roles but this would be the Last Time Maureen would don the Loincloth. It is a Fast Paced and Highly Entertaining Escapism with Dangers aplenty and Animal Acts that were a Staple of the Franchise. After a Riveting Setup in the Jungle featuring Evil White Trappers, a Lion Attack, and a Native Invasion that leaves Tarzan and Jane for Dead, the Film takes Off to New York as the World's most Happily Married Couple go in Search for Boy who was Snatched by the Trappers and Taken to the Circus.Cheetah also Stars with many Funny Scenes and so the Entire Tarzan Family are On Screen and Contribute equally to the Film's Success.Overall it may Not be the Best in the Series, that would be "Tarzan and His Mate" (1934), but it is a Favorite among Fans and is quite a Treat.
bkoganbing Tarzan's New York Adventure finds Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan invading civilization's capital of New York in search of Johnny Sheffield who was snatched by some unscrupulous white men. Charles Bickford, Chill Wills, and pilot Paul Kelly invade Tarzan's domain in search of wild animals to trap. But when a curious Johnny Sheffield wants to see their airplane, Bickford captures him thinking he'll be a great attraction at Cy Kendall's circus.Kelly has a conscience and he and girl friend Virginia Grey try to help Mr.&Mrs. Tarzan get their kid back. Justice stalls a bit at Judge Russell Hicks's courtroom especially after Bickford and Kendall's attorney Charles Lane gives O'Sullivan a rough cross examination. Weissmuller has to use some of his tried and true methods to get his kid back.This film takes a lot of belief suspension, but it is fast moving and enjoyable. In real life while I don't think any Family Court Judge would entertain Bickford's claim on the kid, I doubt if they would award custody to Weissmuller and O'Sullivan. I see foster care the future of Boy.
dbborroughs Last of the Maureen O'Sullivan Tarzans has Jane and Tarzan going to the Big Apple after Boy who was taken to America by poachers (who thought Tarzan and Jane were killed in a fire). Boy is put to work in a circus and the happy couple run around trying to find their son.Brief adventure film is quite enjoyable on its own terms, though I don't know how its going to play if you haven't seen any of the previous five films since any notion of character is out the window. The film starts in the typical manner of the idyllic life being turned upside down by the arrival of a party-this time in a plane-which then results in the main plot being put into motion. Its not bad, just formulaic, as all but the first two films in the series have been.
Space_Mafune When his Boy is kidnapped, Tarzan and Jane head off to New York in search of the young-un...in the end this causes Tarzan to scale building rooftops (not unlike King Kong) and to dive off the Brooklyn Bridge! While this movie has its fun and exciting moments, I missed the jungle setting one expects from Tarzan.
