In the credits, the film is said to have been directed by Cedric Gibbons, although much of the film (after the first few weeks) was actually directed by an uncredited Jack Conway. This was the second of five films in which Maureen O'Sullivan played the part of Tarzan's mate. With the rise of the rigid censorship of the Hays Production Code after this film was made, Jane's scanty clothing and nudity, and rampant sexuality with Tarzan, woulddisappear in future installments.
This is one of my favorite Tarzan movies, being a Baby Boomer, my friends and I would go to the local theater on a Saturday for "Kid's Day," where they would show either a good monster movie, or a Godzilla movie...and of course a Tarzan movie. Those days were really great, and because of the old classics I grew up on, I was influenced by these classics and have always felt that "never again" when it comes to just how well made these films were and how they affected our senses and our lives.
