TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection: Tarzan, Vol. 2 (Tarzan's Secret Treasure / Tarzan and the Amazons / Tarzan's New York Adventure / Tarzan and the Leopard Woman)

Reminds of the Sunday morning movie from my youth good value 😂 ok

The reviews I read before buying this were down on the quality. This is Tarzan as it was in the movies in the 30's and 40's and on TV in the 50's and 60's. Yes, it grainy. Yes, the sound skips. Yes, the effects seem hokey. But, it's the Tarzan I know and love--just as it was in the day. If you're looking for perfection--steer clear--that is unless you consider the original perfection.

This second volume of Johnny Weissmuller's "Tarzan" is almost as much fun as the first collection offered by Turner Classic Movies. With this collection you get:Tarzan's Secret Treasure (1941) - In this entry, Boy discovers a bunch of gold sitting at the bottom of the jungle family's swimming hole, and uses the odd rocks for his slingshot. Not long after, a safari stumbles it's way onto Tarzan's escarpment looking to capture some exotic animals, but learns of the gold. Hoping to find the source of the gold, the men will stop at nothing to discover the hidden treasure.Tarzan's New York Adventure (1942) - This one is a lot of fun, and probably the highlight of this collection. While trying to capture wild animals for his circus, a ruthless animal trainer discovers Boy's talent with animals. Thinking that Tarzan and Jane have been killed by a native tribe, they take Boy back to New York to put him on display. Jane and Tarzan follow the trail of the circus owner all the way back to New York City where Tarzan must learn to deal with civilization. Cheeta is riot in this one,Tarzan and the Amazons (1945) - Tarzan rescues a beautiful young woman from being attacked by a Panther. Tarzan sees by her jewelry that she belongs to a hidden tribe of Amazon women, Taking the wounded girl home, Boy follows Tarzan and learns the location of the lost tribe. Some treasure hungry men learn that Boy knows where the Amazon women are located and convince him to lead them to where no man (except Tarzan) has gone before.Tarzan and the Leopard Woman (1946) - Education is coming to Africa, but one tribe does not want outsiders to civilize their region. Instead this tribe worships a Leopard god, and sends their warriors dressed in Leopard skins with claws to attack caravans. A young warrior wants to prove himself by bringing back Jane's heart for the Leopard god.Each of these films are fun in some way, and if you are a "Tarzan" fan, then you should definitely have these movies in your collection. The only thing holding me back from a five-star rating is Brenda Joyce's "Jane". Maureen O'Sullivan made that role, and it's hard to see someone else step in. Specifically in "Tarzan and the Leopard Woman", Jane does little more than stand around looking scared and helpless, even when Boy is fighting for his life, Joyce's Jane does nothing to help? In the earlier films Jane wasn't helpless, and showed real strength.Still, these are great films that I will re-visit often.

My wife loves the Tarzan stories and has read 8 different books 3 times and insisted we get the old DVD's of the "Real Tarzan"stories. They are very exciting and makes my wife sit on the edge of her chair at times from all the excitement that Tarzan gets intoand out of.

Johnny Weissmuller is still the 'classic' Tarzan. They've tried many times to revive the franchise, but none have stood the test of time like Weissmuller's 'TARZAN'. 4 great movies to sit down and watch and share with those who may have never seen these classics. They've been able to 're-invent' Batman, Spiderman and Superman, but these are still the best Tarzan collection.

I have a six year old son who is super-hero crazy. Avengers, Batman, Superman, etc... Now I can add Tarzan (Johnny Weismuller) to the list. My son is just as enthralled by these films as he is by today's movies. And obviously, the 'special effects' aren't quite the same. It just shows that truly classic films can be just as entertaining as the super-hero movies of today.

My boyfriend loves these all Tarzan movies and I have to admit, I get a kick out of watching them with him. It's like he says, "Tarzan is a man of few words", but what he says speaks volumes. He's a cool cat. I never tire of the swimming scenes. Also, who wouldn't want to live in that great tree house!

Hey, it's 5-Time Undefeated Olympic Gold Medalist Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan - what else needs to be said?The disc quality is good at best, with fair sound and picture. My main beef with the disc is that the movies are NOT in widescreen.
