I love this movie so much

To me, this movie is perfection.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Nothing about "Tarzan's New York Adventure" would suggest "Oscar- worthy," though I do enjoy its opening theme song that could be used by folks doing the Wobble Baby Wobble Baby on the dance floor. Here's the scoop: the beautiful Maureen O'Sullivan was a fashionista and had grown very tired of the role of Jane, one who never changed her jungle outfit. MGM had agreed to have Jane die in the previous film but also had filmed an alternate ending for the "just in case ..." In order to get O'Sullivan to do one more, a script was written in which she would have to lead Tarzan - along with their chimp, Cheetah - out of their jungle environs in pursuit of the hunting team that had kidnapped their "adopted" (found in a plane wreckage in an earlier film) son, "Boy." These kidnappers would be found in The Big Apple where Boy's skills with animals were being put to great use. Very little about this movie is believable, and that helps make it great fun. Both Cheetah - "he's like family" says Jane to almost anyone frustrated and/or amused by his antics - and Tarzan exhibit great comic relief. Maureen O'Sullivan would call it quits to the character of Jane with this movie; she had been both brilliant and beguiling. The very best of Tarzan films were the ones in which she was paired with Johnny Weissmuller. The former Olympian Weissmuller remains unmatched in being cast as the King of the Jungle. Talk about typecasting: Weissmuller would never be cast in any movie in which he wasn't playing the part of Tarzan. Who cares?!?! Thanks MGM and thanks Johnny Weissmuller and thanks Maureen O'Sullivan for giving us one more jungle flick featuring your loveliness as Jane!

Tarzan's New York Adventure finds Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan invading civilization's capital of New York in search of Johnny Sheffield who was snatched by some unscrupulous white men. Charles Bickford, Chill Wills, and pilot Paul Kelly invade Tarzan's domain in search of wild animals to trap. But when a curious Johnny Sheffield wants to see their airplane, Bickford captures him thinking he'll be a great attraction at Cy Kendall's circus.Kelly has a conscience and he and girl friend Virginia Grey try to help Mr.&Mrs. Tarzan get their kid back. Justice stalls a bit at Judge Russell Hicks's courtroom especially after Bickford and Kendall's attorney Charles Lane gives O'Sullivan a rough cross examination. Weissmuller has to use some of his tried and true methods to get his kid back.This film takes a lot of belief suspension, but it is fast moving and enjoyable. In real life while I don't think any Family Court Judge would entertain Bickford's claim on the kid, I doubt if they would award custody to Weissmuller and O'Sullivan. I see foster care the future of Boy.

A group of big game hunters land on Tarzan's escarpment in a 'metal bird', which piques Boy's curiosity about the wonders of modern civilisation. After the fearless lad approaches the hunters and foolishly displays his remarkable command of animals, Buck Rand (Charles Bickford), leader of the hunt, sees dollar signs and plans to take the lad to the US and sell him to a circus.Rand's opportunity comes when a tribe of savage natives attack the group, and both Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) and Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan) are seemingly burnt alive as they try to swing to the rescue: with Boy's parents dead, he is free to abduct Boy. However, thanks to the quick thinking of their faithful chimp Cheetah, Tarzan and Jane prove to be still very much alive, and together they travel to the 'Big Apple' to try and find their son.After the formulaic Tarzan's Secret Treasure, it's great to see the legendary ape-man finally get a change of scenery. Tarzan, a fish out of water in the city, takes a while to adjust to his new surroundings and much fun is to be had from his unfamiliarity with modern technology and his coming to terms with NY etiquette; but, after he and his wife fail to convince the authorities to return Boy in court, Tarzan soon forgets all about doing things the civilised way, and switches back to jungle-mode in order to settle matters.This involves an exciting rooftop chase (the 1940s equivalent of freerunning/Parkour), a daring climb up the Brooklyn bridge, a high dive into the river, and a finale that features—surprise, surprise—an elephant stampede. It might not be the greatest of all Tarzan's adventures, but seeing the lord of the jungle stepping out on the town is still a lot of fun.

When his Boy is kidnapped, Tarzan and Jane head off to New York in search of the young-un...in the end this causes Tarzan to scale building rooftops (not unlike King Kong) and to dive off the Brooklyn Bridge! While this movie has its fun and exciting moments, I missed the jungle setting one expects from Tarzan.
