Tarzan and His Mate
US (1934): Adventure/Romance
Tarzan And His Mate
- Recently inducted by the Library of Congress into the National Film Registry, Tarzan
And His Mate is considered one of the few Hollywood sequels that surpassed
the original. In this adventure,
Jane’s father returns to Africa to continue his search for the elephant burial
grounds, hoping that Tarzan will help him.
When Tarzan refuses, Jane’s father decides to continue anyway and the
members of the expedition soon find themselves in grave peril. The popular crocodile battle sequence is used here for the
first time and many fans of Tarzan agree this is the best film ever made about
the “Lord of the Jungle.” The
DVD release contains the original uncensored “pre-code” version of the film,
containing the notorious nude swimming scene which was deleted prior to
theatrical release.
