Ivory-seeking explorers Harry Holt (Neil Hamilton) and James Parker (C. Aubrey Smith) arrive in a remote jungle to search for a mythical elephant graveyard. Accompanied by Parker's lovely daughter, Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan), the men are at odds with their dangerous environment. When the virile Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) and his primate companions abduct Jane, it creates conflict between the jungle dwellers and the outsiders. As Jane spends time with Tarzan, however, she begins to fall for him.
Johnny Weissmuller, the former Olympic champion in swimming, makes his debut as Tarzan. The movie spawned a lot of sequels and Weissmuller continued as Tarzan for 11 more films during the next 16 years. I had seen this early and somewhat primitive talkie a couple of years back and found it hard to sit through. I decided I'd give it another chance and was surprised at how much more I enjoyed it. Weissmuller is stunning, he fits the part excellent and looks amazing. There's screen charisma by the thousands. Maureen O' Sullivan as Jane really made the role her own. The African footage, shot during the making of "Trader Horn" is exciting and must have been worth the ticket on its own back in the thirties. There's some bad rear-projection used, but it doesn't spoil the movie if you don't let it bother you. So enjoy this entertaining film.
