In the first sequel to Tarzan, the Ape Man, Harry Holt returns to Africa to head up a large ivory expedition. This time he brings his womanizing friend Marlin Arlington. Holt also harbors ideas about convincing Jane to return to London. When Holt and Arlington show Jane some of the modern clothes and perfumes they brought from civilization, she is impressed but not enough to return. Tarzan wrestles every wild animal imaginable to protect Jane but when he disallows the expedition from plundering ivory from the elephant burial grounds, it is he who takes a bullet from Arlington's gun. Jane eventually believes that Tarzan is dead but he is nursed back to health by the apes. As Jane and the returning expedition are attacked by violent natives, we wonder if Tarzan can rescue them yet again.
Leave your thoughts about Tarzan and His Mate.
| VarietyVariety StaffThe picture has a strange sort of power that overcomes the total lack of logic. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonMany consider Tarzan and His Mate to be the best Tarzan film ever made, and I'm in complete agreement. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanEngaging and surprisingly sexy and raw for its time with luscious production values. |
| New York TimesMordaunt HallAside from the wild tale, this film is a marvel from a photographic standpoint. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersThe film's pacing seems unsure of itself, as if it wants to leave enough slack for the abridgers |
| Tim Dirks' The Greatest FilmsTim DirksTarzan and His Mate (1934) is considered the greatest of the Weissmuller-Tarzan films, even better than its predecessor - Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) |
| User ReviewBryan CMatches its predecessor by seamlessly continuing the story, increasing the scale, tossing in a lot more violence and nudity, and having Maureen O'Sullivan wear as little clothing as possible. Wow! Tarzan would never be the same after the Hays code. The only film directed by the great art director Cedric Gibbons. Script by James Kevin McGuinness. |
| User ReviewJohn YThis movie made me fall in love with Tarzan. Controversial swimming scene not included. |
| User ReviewCraig CThe Best Tarzan film ever made. Maureen O'Sullivan is far sexier in a loincloth than Bo Derek nekkid. One of the best adventure films ever made. Touching and timeless. |
| User ReviewDonald WMy favourite Tarzan Movie. Please note that this is a 1934 movie! Maureen O´Sullivan was far beyond her time. |
