	Salon \| Jungle love (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Tarzan and Jane are on their way to the States, to rescue their adopted son, Boy, from an evil circus promoter who's lured him away, and Jane has explained to her husband that he'll need to suit up properly for his first trip into civilization.
		In 1934's "Tarzan and His Mate," Jane's head can't be turned by an old suitor who brings her dresses, silk stockings and perfume, certain he'll be able to remind her how impossible it is for a woman to live without such things.
		If Tarzan lived in civilization, he'd be the kind of guy who'd always have to be reminded which fork to use, who'd always get hot dog relish all over his front, whose wife would surely have to pick out each and every one of his shirts.

	Johnny Weissmuller -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Another son, Peter Weissmuller, Jr., was born in Windber on September 3, 1905.
		In a total of twelve Tarzan movies, Weissmuller earned an estimated $2,000,000 and established himself as the best-known of all the actors who have ever portrayed Tarzan.
		Although not the first Tarzan in movies (that honour went to Elmo Lincoln), he was the first to be associated with the now traditional ululating, yodeling Tarzan yell.

	Tarzan The Ape Man (1932)
		Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) is the first feature-length talking (sound) version of the Tarzan series.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE TARZAN COLLECTION
		TARZAN THE APE MAN finds Jane Parker (Maureen O'Sullivan) arriving in Africa to join her father James (C. Aubrey Smith) on an expedition to find the Elephant’s Graveyard and the wealth of ivory that it contains.
		However, after Tarzan rescues her from a savage tribe of Pygmies, Jane decides that a less civilized suitor is the man the best man to have around in the jungle.
		While Jane contemplates returning home, Tarzan is captured with the intention of putting him on display as some sort of circus wild man. You could say that the title sums up the plot of TARZAN FINDS A SON, as Tarzan and Jane adopt an in infant boy that survives a plane crash in the jungle.

		Tarzan and Jane discover a baby who is the only survivor of an airplane crash, and the rear the boy as their own.
		TARZAN AND THE AMAZONS, I really appreciate how this one still retains enough of the savagery that made the initial entries so appealing.
		There are some powerful scenes here, particularly a moving moment when Tarzan has to keep a baby elephant from running to his mortally-wounded mother who is making her way to the elephant's graveyard.

		Most Tarzan enthusiasts consider 1934's Tarzan and His Mate to be the best of the Johnny Weissmuller-Maureen O'Sullivan Tarzan efforts.
		Picking up where 1932's Tarzan the Ape Man left off, the film's plot is set in motion by avaricious ivory hunter Paul Cavanaugh, who arrives in the African jungle in search of the fabled Elephant's Graveyard.
		Tarzan and His Mate was the last of MGM's "Tarzan" series to be targeted for a strictly adult audience: the remaining MGM Tarzans, made under stricter censorship guidelines, were geared for the whole family.

	BUNKUM - Interview with Johnny Sheffield
		Johnny Sheffield, son of actor/director Reginald Sheffield, was born April 11, 1931 in Pasadena, California.
		"Tarzan's New York Adventure" involves the resourcefulness, and humanity of Tarzan; family and responsibility as the nucleus for human growth and happiness; the vulnerability of the family to outside influences of evil.
		When circumstances compelled Tarzan to venture out across this world, he demonstrated his values by action and was willing to risk it all for his family.

	Tarzan - Johnny Weissmuller >> German-Hollywood Connection
		But it was Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan in the Depression-wracked 1930s and on into the 1940s that proved most enduring.
		Of the 48 Tarzan movies made since 1918 (authorized and not), the Romanian/Austrian-born muscular Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller only appeared in an even dozen.
		The “reel” Tarzan hardly spoke at all, much less the English, French, German, Swahili, “Ape” and Arabic of Burroughs' “real” Tarzan, unless you count “Ungawa!” – a phrase that apparently can mean almost anything.

		Tarzan's bemused reaction to a fl taxi driver, his takes on radio, indoor plumbing, and nightclubs, are priceless (and were recreated years later in Paul Hogan's wonderful 'Crocodile Dundee').
		In the court case that follows Tarzan has a hard time trusting modern man's justice and when it is discovered that Boy is not the couple's natural son, and when Tarzan is accused of all kinds of breaches of the law he breaks free to find Boy himself.
		Although his later Tarzan films at RKO would be in the "B" class, Weissmuller would always be regarded as the definitive Tarzan for generations to come and still comes to viewers minds automatically if the character is mentioned.

	DVD Savant Review: The Tarzan Collection
		Although he is one of the movies' most-filmed characters, Tarzan's biggest smash was through Johnny Weissmuller at MGM where the Olympic swimmer's physique made ogling a national sport.
		All that's lacking is Carol Burnett doing her imitation Tarzan yell, the yodeling cry that's one of the most recognizable sounds of the 20th century.
		Tarzan the Ape Man is a terrific rape fantasy that shows lovely Maureen O'Sullivan (Hannah and her Sisters) tickled pink to be carried off by the big naked he-man, not to the Casbah but instead to a bug-infested nest high in the trees.

	AMCTV.com SHOW - Tarzan Finds a Son!
		Tarzan - Over the years, no less than 10 beefcake actors have stripped to their loincloths to play Tarzan, but one remains etched in our memory: Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller.
		The first Tarzan, 1918's silent Tarzan of the Apes, was most faithful to Edgar Rice Burroughs's Lord of the Jungle.
		And the movies were never short on action, with Tarzan often battling greedy poachers or hunters invading his territory.

	Tarzan Finds a Son!
		The bottom line is that "Tarzan Finds a Son!" is the second best of the Weismuller Tarzan films, behind 1934's "Tarzan and His Mate," bringing out a paternal streak in the Lord of the Jungle that becomes him.
		No Tarzan film would be complete without its quota of villians and "Tarzan finds a Son" has a very exceptional list of fine character actors as supporting performers.
		I like this film because it focuses more on the characters and their relationship as a family unit rather than on their relationship with the various jungle friends and threats which were growing wearisome by the time of this entry in the series.

	Amazon.com: Tarzan's Secret Treasure (1941) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The 1941 film "Tarzan's Secret Treasure" is the fifth of the twelve Tarzan movies featuring former Olympic swimming champion Johnny Weissmuller as the Ape Man. Weissmuller might not have been the definitive Tarzan, especially for anyone who read the original novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, but he certainly ended up being the most memorable.
		Of course, before Boy can find trouble, trouble finds him, in the form of Professor Elliott (Reginald Owen) and O'Doul (Barry Fitzgerald), a group of researchers eager to study the son of Tarzan, who happen to have a couple of villain in their midst in the form of Medford (Tom Conway) and Vandermeer (Philip Dorn).
		I find the three movies with Boy to be the most action and fun for repeated viewings and Tarzan and His Mate to be the best overall film.

		While Burroughs' tales had no moral viewpoint on Tarzan and Jane having a son of their own, Hollywood's Production Code was more leery of their somewhat nontraditional family arrangement.
		(This would be the only time that the MGM Tarzan films would make a reference to Tarzan's aristocratic roots, a detail from Burroughs' novels.) The aircraft crashes in the proximity of Tarzan and Jane's jungle abode, leaving Lancing's infant son as the sole survivor.
		His machinations lead to a betrayal of Tarzan by Jane, and the departing safari's capture by a savage tribe, setting up a rousing rescue attempt courtesy of Tarzan & Son.

	Biography for Maureen O'Sullivan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The future jungle wife of Tarzan and mother of Mia Farrow was a schooldays classmate of Vivien Leigh at the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Roehampton (London).
		A few years later she was signed by MGM, where she spent the bulk of her screen career playing virginal inge nues, and had substantial secondary roles in such classics as David Copperfield, Anna Karenina (both 1935) and Pride and Prejudice (1940), not to mention The Marx Brothers' A Day at the Races (1937).
		She is best remembered, however, as Jane, the mate of jungle lord Tarzan, a role she first played with Johnny Weissmuller in Tarzan, the Ape Man (1932) and then reprised five more times, evolving in terms of costume (from preProduction Code scanties to a modified Mother Hubbard) and role (becoming stepmother to Boy).

		Tarzan was to the 1930s what James Bond was to the 1960s -- a cultural phenomenon.
		The first four films (Tarzan the Ape Man, Tarzan and his Mate, Tarzan Escapes and Tarzan Finds A Son) are of a cinematic perfection in exploring the exotic romance and adventure between these two characters.
		But the final two installments ("Tarzan's Secret Treasure" and "Tarzan's New York Adventure") are idiotic derivatives of the formula in which the series not only shows its age but glaringly misrepresents the original vision of Boroughs' novel.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Tarzan Collection Starring Johnny Weissmuller -- Johnny Weissmuller - DVD
		Subsequent series entries, beginning with Tarzan Escapes (1936), avoid such material in favor of family-friendly innovations like the couple's super-sized tree house -- outfitted with jungle equivalents of familiar household devices -- and increased footage for the antics of Cheetah, Tarzan's chimpanzee companion.
		The trend toward domesticity continues in Tarzan Finds a Son (1939), with five-year-old Johnny Sheffield playing the titular tyke, orphaned in a plane crash and adopted by Tarzan and Jane.
		The studio's final two series entries, Tarzan's Secret Treasure (1941) and Tarzan's New York Adventure (1942), are quite up to the earlier films: a restive O'Sullivan, who wanted out after the fourth film, is just going through the motions and the once-lithe Weissmuller has gotten appallingly beefy.
