Review of Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) by Luiserghio M — 11 Mar 2010
Other than the guys wearing bad ape suits and the cardboard crocodiles, the Tarzan film that introduced Johnny Weissmuller holds up pretty well. We see him wrestle lions and jaguars (and Jane!), battle an army of pygmies, swim, swing and yell through the jungle.
Maureen O'Sullivan is great as Jane and the story is mostly told through her persepctive. It's a treat to see Neil Hamilton (Commissioner Gordon from the "Batman" TV series) as her young love interest, and I like the way they developed the love triangle. Best of all Cheetah is just a monkey here and not yet a slapstick comic.
