Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTarzan had to find a son, because censors would not allow Jane to become pregnant since she and Tarzan were not legally married.
- GoofsAt the climax when Boy is being chased by a lion, sudden position changes in the leaves in the background bushes show the progress of the traveling split screen from right to left, used so that both could be in frame without any danger.
- Alternate versionsOriginally released as "Tarzan in Exile" (1939), the film originally ended with the death of Jane. Protests by fans and Edgar Rice Burroughs forced the studio to re-shoot much of the film so Jane survives.
- ConnectionsEdited from Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
Featured review
Tarzan and Jane adopt a baby boy, the sole survivor of a plane crash. The boy's parents perished and so Tarzan and Jane adopt the little tyke. A few years later and he's a boy grown into the guise of Tarzan...complete with Tarzan's abilities to swing vines and talk to jungle animals. Only unknown to Tarzan and Jane, this "Boy" they made their son is actually a wealthy heir and his relatives have come to their jungle hideaway searching for him. Now Tarzan and Jane are faced with a most difficult choice..let "Boy" return to civilization and lose him forever or hold on to him themselves and have him remain in the jungle at all costs and despite the many dangers.
This one is powerful and moves the viewer through a wide range of emotions as the plight of Tarzan and Jane over Boy really puts one through the wringer. Suitable for family viewing for the most part although a scene or two may disturb more impressionable kids.
