"The second Tarzan talkie is reputed to be the sexiest in the series, with minimal clothing and sensual performances from Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan." —Chicago Reader
Five-time Olympic gold-medalist swimmer Weissmuller successfully made the transition from sports star to Hollywood heartthrob as Tarzan in the successful franchise of the same name. Weissmuller proves he is of hearty Hungarian stock as he wrestles jungle beasts while fending off ivory hunters who are attempting to re-domesticate Jane.
