Many actors have slipped on a loincloth and swung from a jungle vine, but nobody reached the treetops of Tarzania quite like Johnny Weissmuller, the Olympic swimmer. And Tarzan's greatest Jane was Maureen O'Sullivan, who moved into T's treehouse for six films at MGM, all collected in this splendid boxed set. It is possible to find these films hokey... but only if you have absolutely no feeling for the magic of early-sound pictures, or no joy in the gee-whiz, Saturday-matinee wonder of Tarzan's prelapsarian lifestyle. To say nothing of the surprisingly overt running theme of (implied) hot jungle sex.
Tarzan, the Ape Man (1932), made with the blessings of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs, establishes the basics of the series (and uses extra Africa footage MGM had compiled for Trader Horn). There'd been many Tarzans before, but Weissmuller's buff bod and innocent charm won over audiences. Tarzan and His Mate is generally considered the best of the lot; it is also the sexiest, especially after the restoration of a hotsy-totsy nude swimming scene. The formula still works in Tarzan Escapes, which brings Jane's cousins out for a visit to the Mutia Escarpment, with its elephant-powered elevator for Tarzan's pad. (Always keep in mind that this is Africa of kiddie imagination, not the real deal.)
Tarzan Finds a Son! introduces Johnny Sheffield as Boy, and stirs up the nest. Things were getting rote by the time of Tarzan's Secret Treasure, and the jungle is left behind entirely for Tarzan's New York Adventure, which has some fun stunts. Also included in the boxed set is the documentary Tarzan: Silver Screen King of the Jungle, which is a fine overview not just of the MGM Tarzan series but of its predecessors (though it does not mention the fact that Weissmuller went on to crank out more Tarzan pictures at RKO). It does delve into the mystery of just what the heck "ungawa" means. --Robert Horton

When it comes to setting the trail for Olympic champions to parlay gold medals to pop culture stardom, Johnny Weissmuller is the leader.
The winner of five gold medals in swimming and one bronze medal in team water polo in The Games of 1924 and 1928, Weissmuller became the sixth cinematic Tarzan and starred in a dozen films.
The six in this set are from 1932-1942 and are classic action adventures that typify the era in Hollywood. Weissmuller as Tarzan is always just moments ... Read More

Movies bring me a lot of wonderful memories. They are like the first time I watch them. This collection is a perfect gift to a Tarzan's fan.

In addition to the films announced (covered in 3 CDs), this collection also include various footage in a 4th CD. This review only covers the first 2 movies: The Ape Man and Tarzan Escapes.
Outstaningly restaured, the scenes are crisp and sharp, the photography is amazing, especially for a movie shot in the 30s. Johny Weissmuller is goregeous and sexy, combining masculin and boyish charm, very scantly-clad, showing off his almost perfect body. No wonder he was an instant smash hit with women ... Read More

Well, I bought the set for $6 here in China. In TARZAN AND HIS MATE, Jane swims naked for several minutes. Great fun.

This movie has been cut from the original. The real Tarzan Escapes had many more harrowing experiences including multiple crossed tree episodes. This only had one, and it was even cut. Don't buy this if you think you may be watching something you remembered as a kid on an afternoon after school. Should not even be offered unless restored to the original...I want a refund
