Tarzan the Ape Man (1932)
Country: US
Technical: bw 99m
Director: W. S. Van Dyke II
Cast: Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan
Synopsis:
White hunters accompanied by the nubile daughter of one of them happen upon a curious inarticulate European who has been raised by apes.
Review:
The first of the MGM Tarzans with Weissmuller and O'Sullivan and the one with the more revealing costumes and nude swimming scene. The various location and studio footage is rather scrappily assembled but it has all the guts and energy of the best of the Tarzans, with a lion or crocodile lurking behind every bush, and a bunch of pigmies so grotesque this could only have been made the same year as Freaks. All that separate this movie from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom are technical advances and self-conscious humour.
