Weissmullers MGM were the best.,
To put it in simple terms: The Weissmuller-Tarzans by MGM were the best. Take it from me, I watched them for mor than fifty years.

|Review of Tarzan and the Amazons,
This is the ninth film that Johnny Weissmuller made as Tarzan of the twelve that he made. It is the first that Brenda Joyce starred in as Jane. She did three more with Weissmuller and then one with his successor Les Barker. She played Jane in more movies that Maureen O’Sullivan. Johnny Sheffield is Boy again. All three are excellent.
All of the Weissmuller Tarzan films have the generally same plot, but are still well-worth seeing. They are fun to watch. Tarzan is primal man, not at all bright. Boy is able to speak English as a regular American youngster. Tarzan can usually only grunt – nicely, of course – single phrases. Boy, in this film, memorizes an entire long poem. Tarzan is unable to memorize a single line, even after many attempts. But he has good common sense and a good heart, understands his world, enjoys it immensely, and wants no interference from outside. In fact, in each film, it is Jane or Boy who insists on doing things Tarzan knows is wrong and gets the trio in trouble.
In this film Tarzan rescues an amazon woman from a panther and carries her back to her people, after warning Boy not to follow him. Tarzan restrains Boy because of his promise to the amazons that he will not reveal their existence or location. They have the same desire as Tarzan to be left alone. But he is unable to articulate this to his son who enjoys the company of others, and Boy follows him; and Boy later reveals the location to men who want to steal the gold held by the beautiful amazons.

|tarzan movies,
very good sound and video quality for 1930′s movie. I saw these movies when I was little. Johnny weismuler plays a really good tarzen. I think he was the best.
