Review of Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) by David L — 17 Sep 2018

Tarzan the Ape Man is a very interesting experiment which strips away the themes and many of the characters from the original source material in favor of a cinematic, realistic action-adventure take on the story for better and for worse.

Tarzan is ridiculously underused and the film has too many fights, but it's gorgeously shot, influencing in its wake 'King Kong' quite obviously plus its focus on Jane as basically the main character was a unique choice that paid off significantly leading to a rather charming film.
