- Law Good
Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller), Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan), and Boy (Johnny Sheffield) are living peacefully in the jungle when one day, an airplane lands nearby. Several hunters emerge in hopes of trapping wild animals, especially lions. Tarzan knows the danger of these men, so he warns them to leave, but Boy is curious about their airplane, and tries to befriend them. Seeing that they can use his repore with animals to their advantage, the hunters kidnap him and take him to New York to perform in a traveling circus. Tarzan will have none of their nonsense, regardless of the barriers between the jungle and the city. He and Jane venture to New York to find their son.

One would think that Tarzan in the city would make for a great film, but we have more camp than classic here. This is ... Read More

Any Tarzan movie staring Johnny Weismueller is a classic hit! He was without a doubt the best tarzan ever. I am 33 this is 2004 in Febuary. So I did not grow up on his movies. I was introduced by my husband and very thankful for the experience. my only problem is you can not get any tarzan movie on DVD with johnny Weismueller in it????????

- Tarzan's Memorable Visit To The "Stone Jungle"
With a title like "Tarzan's New York Adventure", how could you possibly resist this film? It being the last of the lavish MGM cycle of Tarzan movies stretching right back to 1932 you would think that by 1942 this would be a tired entry in the series. On the contrary it is in my belief one of the most entertaining of the series and while far removed from the original classic characters and settings created by Edgar Rice Burroughs for his acclaimed novel, it has much to commend it. Marking Maureen O'Sullivan's last appearance as Jane and MGM's last effort before the series moved over to RKO with Johnny Weissmuller in toe it has a certain historical value as well for those people who are interested in the evolution of the Tarzan character on screen.

By 1942 with 5 highly successful entries ... Read More

- Swing Shift
MGM's last `Tarzan' adventure was one of its best. This film shifts the setting from the African jungle to the concrete jungle and it really swings. We finally get to see Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan outfitted in more stylish attire befitting the great city. This film is a good combination of plot and action as it boasts a great courtroom scene and skyscraper chase. This was a great crowd pleaser on its release and it still is today.

- Double-breasted Suit for Tarzan
By the time "Tarzan's New York Adventure" went into production, Maureen O'Sullivan wanted out of the series. Producer, Frederick Stephani appeased O'Sullivan by basing the main setting of this film in New York City. This allowed O'Sullivan to wear a more fashionable wardrobe than audiences were used to seeing her in. Tarzan and Jane travel to the "Stone Jungle" to rescue Boy from a circus owner bent on displaying him as his main attraction. A highlight of this film and the series is the big city trial for custody of Boy and an ensuing police pursuit of Tarzan. It all ends happily however! This was one of the best critically received Tarzan films. It was also MGM's last. Producer Sol Lesser brought Weissmuller's Tarzan over to RKO. "Tarzan's New York Adventure" is one of my favorites. No, it is my favorite.
