TARZAN, THE APE MAN (1932)
VHS NTSC |
| Credits: dir: W. S. Van Dyke; w/ Johnny
Weissmuller, Neil Hamilton, C. Aubrey Smith, Maureen
O'Sullivan. |
| Synopsis: Based
on Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1914 novel, this film marked the
beginning of the famous Tarzan series starring Olympic
swimming champion Johnny Weismuller, who would go on to play
the Ape Man in 11 subsequent films and remains the physical
embodiment of the famous hero to this day. While the
depiction of the King of the Jungle as an ignorant savage
differs somewhat from the intelligent hero of the novels by
Burroughs, Weismuller’s Tarzan is visually gripping,
performing his own stunts as he wrestles and defeats wild
beasts in hand-to-claw combat. Maureen O’Sullivan’s Jane
Parker will prove as irresistible to the civilized modern
viewer as she is to the untamed psyche of Tarzan. Featuring
some 1930s footage from the jungles of Africa, this tale of
the origin and early life of the Ape Man is a classic.
"Me
Tarzan, you Jane."--Tarzan (Johnny Weismuller) to Jane
(Maureen O'Sullivan).
This
classic film marked the beginning of the famous Tarzan
series, depicting the origin and early life of the Ape Man. |

TARZAN AND HIS MATE
(1934) VHS NTSC |
| Credits: dir: Cedric Gibbons; w/ Johnny
Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, Neil Hamilton. |
| Synopsis:
2nd Weissmuller
flick. An old flame returns to try to tempt Jane
back to England, and to loot the elephant's graveyard.
These early Weissmuller movies (this is the second) were not
intended for children, I think. The action is
sometimes pretty grim & grisly for a picture of this
era. And not only is O'Sullivan wearing her
next-to-nothing jungle outfit, but there is a lengthy
underwater swimming scene featuring a totally butt-naked
Jane (this was probably body-double Josephine McKim, an
Olympic Swimmer. To appease critics, the studio shot
another version of the scene with a clothed Maureen
O'Sullivan). Although it's sometimes just as sexist as
any flick of the period, unlike in many films, Jane is shown
as an intelligent, resourceful and brave jungle babe.
Actually, this one is pretty good even if you're not a
Tarzan fan, with plenty of excitement & a nude scene,
it's a real guy flick. |

VHS PAL |
|
aka: TARZAN S'EVADE (France) |
| Credits: dir: Richard Thorpe (et

Buckler, Benita Hume. |
| Synopsis:
A great white hunter tries to bag Tarzan himself.
By this time, the studio may have been moving their aim
towards the children -- apparently, the original cut of this
film was too gory, so it was extensively reworked.
Unfortunately, it shows -- the resulting script is
simplistic, sappy, and abrupt. A good deal of
footage from Mate is re-used, but on the whole, it's
still kinda fun. |

TARZAN FINDS A SON
(1939) VHS NTSC
|
| Credits: dir: Richard Thorpe; w/
Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, John Sheffield, Ian
Hunter, Laraine Day, Henry Wilcoxon. |
| Synopsis:
Boy makes his debut in a
nice entry featuring a decent story, a little action, and
great photography. If Jane's actions seem a bit, um,
inconsistent, it's explained by the off-screen
reality. O'Sullivan was pregnant (if you look
real close, you can tell) and this was to be her last
picture, so they wrote her out in the script.
Apparently, there was a last-minute arrangement and the
ending was reshot so that she stayed with Tarzan. |

Charles Bickford Virginia Grey Charles Lane Maureen
O'Sullivan Johnny Sheffield Chill Wills |
| Synopsis:
The first of the RKO Tarzans, we lose Jane temporarily
(she's off visiting her ma), and add jungle princess
Gifford. Nazi troopers invade the peaceful Hidden City, and
Tarzan has to go from ardent isolationist to nazi-stomping
hero. It's awfully silly in spots, and ends with a really
bad joke, but there's some new stock footage and more action
scenes than usual. Actually, this one's a lot of fun, but
the anti-German propaganda gets a bit steep -- even Boy gets
to shoot a nazi dead, and then he grins about it! |
