Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTarzan had to find a son, because censors would not allow Jane to become pregnant since she and Tarzan were not legally married.
- GoofsAt the climax when Boy is being chased by a lion, sudden position changes in the leaves in the background bushes show the progress of the traveling split screen from right to left, used so that both could be in frame without any danger.
- Alternate versionsOriginally released as "Tarzan in Exile" (1939), the film originally ended with the death of Jane. Protests by fans and Edgar Rice Burroughs forced the studio to re-shoot much of the film so Jane survives.
- ConnectionsEdited from Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
Featured review
Good Fare for the Old Matinée Shows
Most people I talk to about Tarzan films, always seem to remember this one best - it certainly was aimed at the Saturday Afternoon Matinée Audiences of the 1930"s, and from their points of view, it probably did not disappoint. It really is a kids movie, but provides escapist entertainment, and the introduction of their "son" creates new interest to a somewhat tired storyline - there are only so many elephant stampedes you can have! The acting of the principals is the same as always, with Johnny W. having a very limited script to worry about. Jane (Maureen O'S.) looks good, while Johnny Sheffield is an appealing "Boy" who became a real pain in sequels! Henry Stephenson and Freda Inescort were good support for Ian Hunter, and in a very small bit part was Laraine Day, presumably in her debut movie. I must say the Metro Tarzan movies had more class than those that followed from lesser studios.
