Review of Tarzan and His Mate (1934) by Antonius B — 10 Nov 2016

Comparing my viewing experience to Danny Peary's, reading his Cult Movies, I had a lot more trouble suspending my logic. He isn't wrong, though, to be bowled over by the eroticism in the movie.

I was totally shocked by the outfits and nakedness. (Oh, THAT Hayes Code.) Totally enjoyed the sexy mates - and their thorough involvement with each other. I'd agree with Peary that part of the fascination is that it's Jane's story.

I was a bit taken aback when he said that flipping Tarzan from a sophisticated educated man to a wordless, simple, feely guy made it possible for Jane to be his equal! But I see where he was going with it, and I agree they come off as equals.
