George S Jul 29, 2018 If it's not broke, then don't fix it, so the saying goes, and MGM knew where their golden egg was. And so this, the 3rd in the series features all of the elements the public loved in the continuing ERB story a boy raised by apes who becomes king of the jungle. So there's oodles of vine-swinging, plenty of fights with exotic animals, treacherous "civilized" whites, hordes of bloodthirsty savages, as well as some "innocent" water frolic-ing and, of course, the famous yell. Jane considers returning to England temporarily is the source of the conflict here. Cheetah provides humor and a saving-the-day or two. "Cheetah! Uum-gow-wah!!" See more

Poe P Mar 24, 2018 Certainly one of the better adventure films of the 1930's. Here Tarzan interacts more with people than he does the jungle he is lord over - which hurts the film overall. Some of the footage may even be from earlier films (alligators), and Jane never yodels either. Expect a Hollywood ending. All in all there may be slightly better emotional acting from Weissmuller in this film in spite of it being an adventure film for those looking to escape modern life for a little while. See more
