Tarzan and His Mate (1934)

[6]

Poachers are looking to rob a legendary elephant graveyard of its ivory in the first Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan sequel. I think the sequel is just as entertaining as the original.  The sexual innuendo is more pronounced (we even get a nude swimming scene), and it definitely delivers plenty matinee action, culminating in a nice finale where we have Tarzan and Jane fighting their way through a horde of lions.   There’s even a bit of emotion going on in this one, with Cheetah the Chimp losing a friend, and a poor little elephant is sacrificed.  Maureen O’Sullivan also returns as Jane.
