PodBill Just what I expected

utgard14 Some men come to Africa by plane looking for lions for their circus. Despite Tarzan's warnings to stay away from them, Boy is fascinated by the plane and tries to get a closer look. He's kidnapped by the circus owner, hoping to turn Boy into a big attraction back home. Tarzan, Jane, and Cheeta all head to New York to rescue him. Once there, Jane makes Tarzan obey the law and try to get Boy back the legal way. So they have to go to court to gain custody. Weird. Don't worry, this isn't a courtroom drama. There is plenty of action. Tarzan's escape from the police and the circus rescue is exciting stuff. There's also quite a bit of 'fish out of water' humor with Tarzan having to wear a suit and discovering radio and indoor plumbing for the first time. Cheeta's also lots of fun in this. That crazy laugh is something else. The phone call scene with Mantan Moreland will NOT sit well with everybody, so sensitive types be forewarned. Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Johnny Sheffield are all great, as usual. Good support from Paul Kelly, Charles Bickford, Virginia Grey, Chill Wills, and Cy Kendall. This is the sixth and final Tarzan film from MGM before the series relocated to RKO. It's also the last film with Maureen O'Sullivan, who didn't act again for six years. The subsequent RKO Tarzans are fun but it's hard to beat the MGM series which had, among other attributes, the wonderful chemistry between Weissmuller and O'Sullivan.

Tashtago I thought I wouldn't like this because of the New York setting but half the movie still takes place in the jungle. Plus the New York scenes are sensational. Cheta has some hilarious moments in a hotel room and steals every scene she's in. The spectacular dive from the Brooklyn Bridge is masterfully filmed and the cast are great as always. One of my favourite supporting actors Charles Bickford (R.F. from Singin in the Rain) makes an excellent villain with a pronounced sense of menace I'd never seen in him before. Tarzan is still Tarzan and is given an excellent comic moment in the hotel shower. Maureen O'Sullivan remains the most beautiful,sexy, and intelligent Jane ever. A big winner in my books and possibly in the top 3 of the classic Tarzan movies.

wes-connors After a swim, jungle king Johnny Weissmuller (as Tarzan), pretty Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), and son John Sheffield (as Boy) see pilot Paul Kelly (as Jimmie Shields) land his plane in their idyllic African hideaway. It is an expedition led by hunter Charles Bickford (as Buck Rand), who needs lions for his circus. But, after seeing young Sheffield's animal antics, Mr. Bickford envisions the youngster as a circus act. Animal trainer Chill Wills (as Manchester Montford) tags him "The Boy King of the Jungle." When a mishap incapacitates his adopted parents, the interlopers take Sheffield to America...Saved by "Cheeta" the Chimp, Mr. Weissmuller goes on a New York adventure to find Sheffield and bring him home...After twenty exciting minutes in the jungle, we switch to seeing the Tarzan family in civilization. Actually, it's "Cheeta" who takes up most of the action, which turns out to be a good idea as the chimp handles the humorous situations better than Weissmuller. However, "Tarzan" does swing into action for an stupendous conclusion. "Tarzan's New York Adventure" was the most entertaining entry since the series began. Some of the editing, visuals and effects are worthy of an award nomination. Alas, this ended the comfortably budgeted MGM film, and Ms. O'Sullivan left. The RKO era would be next...******* Tarzan's New York Adventure (5/42) Richard Thorpe ~ Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, Johnny Sheffield, Paul Kelly

Space_Mafune When his Boy is kidnapped, Tarzan and Jane head off to New York in search of the young-un...in the end this causes Tarzan to scale building rooftops (not unlike King Kong) and to dive off the Brooklyn Bridge! While this movie has its fun and exciting moments, I missed the jungle setting one expects from Tarzan.
