Tarzan Escapes (1936)

[6]

Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O’Sullivan take a third swing at playing Tarzan and Jane in another solid entry in the long-running Tarzan series. This time around, swindlers convince Jane to leave the jungle to settle an inheritance dispute back in England. Meanwhile, Tarzan is captured by a circus exhibitionist who plans to exploit our hero as a side-show attraction. One of the highlights of this entry is when the elephants of the jungle rally together to help Tarzan escape his metal cage. In addition, the jungle love heats up, the cute critters get cuter, and man, are those native henchmen ever expendable. Every time you see a caravan trekking over any mountain or cliff, you can be sure that someone is going to plunge to their death.
