Leave your thoughts about Tarzan the Ape Man.
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbit'Tarzan the Ape Man is one helluva action film ... contrasting civilization with the wild and criticizing human greed without being overly preachy' |
| Tim Dirks' The Greatest FilmsTim DirksTarzan the Ape Man (1932) is the first feature-length talking (sound) version of the Tarzan series [Tarzan films stretch into the silent film era back to 1918]. |
| Dispatch-Tribune NewspapersSteve CrumVery vine, er...fine Weismuller, his first, with sexy O'Sullivan Jane. |
| User ReviewJonathan J C DWell if you want up to date ethics and effects then your sending a leopard up the wrong tree! But if you're looking for a 30s adventure that's the equivelant of the new Indianna Jones then look no further. The effects are only cheap looking because of what we are used to now. My father told me of how this, and the sequels, blew him and his friends away: and lets remember, Tarzan was, argueably, the first super hero (ok in my opinion), and this film was waited upon as probably 'Transformers' was to some today or 'Superman' was to me! Some of the exploitation scenes are disturbing and modern thinking makes you worry about the animal welfare. But the film is rip roaring stuff (with the ever delightful Miss O'sullivan doing some costume ripping her self..down boy)! Weismuller is used to great effect (little dialogue but he wasn't the greatest of actors any way): though he was an athlete and it shows (obviously in the swimming scenes); and let us not forget that he gave the world the immortal 'Tarzan' cry! I love this film! |
| User ReviewNeil KCheetah the chimp moves along the ground with his leg sticking out in front and using his arms almost like crutches. This is how my emergency backup daughter would crawl when she was a baby, only she managed to do all this while sliding on her ass. Fantastic movie, with Jane screaming about every 20 seconds. I've been waiting to see this again since I was about 12 years old. Thank you Turner Classics. |
| User ReviewJonathan SAn incredible adventure film filled with raw violence, sensuality, and humor. The climax verges on some weird horror movie. The crude 1933 photography makes it all look even more authentic - just a notch above newsreel. Awesome! Script by Cyril Hume (Forbidden Planet) with dialog by actor/songwriter Ivor Norvello. |
| User ReviewKen DThis movie is what started my love for the old black and white classics |
| User ReviewMichael KA masterpiece of 30's cinema. A big, sexy, violent adventure with superb performances from Johnny Weissmuller and the beautiful Maureen O'Sullivan in particular and impressively integrated animal setpieces and stunts. Vine swinging action at it's best, aimed at a mature audience. The sequel, Tarzan And His Mate, is equally brilliant. |
