Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Copyright by 20 March 1942 by Loew's Inc. An MGM picture. New York opening at the Capitol: 6 August 1942. U.S. release: May 1942. Australian release: 13 May 1943. 6,362 feet. 70 minutes. SYNOPSIS: Tarzan rescues Boy from an evil circus owner.NOTES: Number 18 of the 45-picture Tarzan series. Elmo Lincoln who starred as the first Tarzan back in 1918 plays one of the roustabouts in the Bickford-Kendall circus.COMMENT: The last of MGM's Weissmuller Tarzans, this entry is rarely seen and consequently has a poor reputation. Fortunately, a recent revival on free-to-air television confirms that the movie's thumbs-down rating is wrong. In fact, the novel story idea is given a great work-out: Tarzan clambers around skyscrapers, jumps from the Brooklyn Bridge and showers in a double-breasted suit!True, the climax is less original but it's still a happy variation of the usual jungle call as the ape man's elephant friends thwart the villains' efforts to escape. Cheeta has a great deal to do too (perhaps too much), as she skittles through a nightclub, shakes hands with Hobart Cavanaugh, dandies herself up in Jane's clothes and telephones gibberish to a startled Mantan Moreland. Even Boy has his moments, particularly at the beginning of the film where he demonstrates his jungle skills to an incredulous Charles Bickford, Chill Wills and Paul Kelly. And as for Maureen O'Sullivan, who is making her last appearance here as Jane, she hasn't looked so sexy since Tarzan and His Mate (1934).All told, a sure-fire crowd-pleaser, pacily directed, glossily produced, and featuring a fine array of character players led by Bickford at his villainous best. Attractive songstress Virginia Grey is also on hand, and, like Miss O'Sullivan, is well treated by Sidney Wagner's sparkling black-and-white cinematography.

Charles Lane was a venerable character actor from the 1930s into the 1990s (check out his IMDb profile for a huge number of credits). He had a supporting role in "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" as a newsman who angers Jimmy Stewart's character to the point that he runs into a bar and laughingly shouts "Help me boys, Tarzan wants to beat me up." Three years later, that's exactly what happened in this film. Coincidence? I think not.

Some men come to Africa by plane looking for lions for their circus. Despite Tarzan's warnings to stay away from them, Boy is fascinated by the plane and tries to get a closer look. He's kidnapped by the circus owner, hoping to turn Boy into a big attraction back home. Tarzan, Jane, and Cheeta all head to New York to rescue him. Once there, Jane makes Tarzan obey the law and try to get Boy back the legal way. So they have to go to court to gain custody. Weird. Don't worry, this isn't a courtroom drama. There is plenty of action. Tarzan's escape from the police and the circus rescue is exciting stuff. There's also quite a bit of 'fish out of water' humor with Tarzan having to wear a suit and discovering radio and indoor plumbing for the first time. Cheeta's also lots of fun in this. That crazy laugh is something else. The phone call scene with Mantan Moreland will NOT sit well with everybody, so sensitive types be forewarned. Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Johnny Sheffield are all great, as usual. Good support from Paul Kelly, Charles Bickford, Virginia Grey, Chill Wills, and Cy Kendall. This is the sixth and final Tarzan film from MGM before the series relocated to RKO. It's also the last film with Maureen O'Sullivan, who didn't act again for six years. The subsequent RKO Tarzans are fun but it's hard to beat the MGM series which had, among other attributes, the wonderful chemistry between Weissmuller and O'Sullivan.

Last of the Maureen O'Sullivan Tarzans has Jane and Tarzan going to the Big Apple after Boy who was taken to America by poachers (who thought Tarzan and Jane were killed in a fire). Boy is put to work in a circus and the happy couple run around trying to find their son.Brief adventure film is quite enjoyable on its own terms, though I don't know how its going to play if you haven't seen any of the previous five films since any notion of character is out the window. The film starts in the typical manner of the idyllic life being turned upside down by the arrival of a party-this time in a plane-which then results in the main plot being put into motion. Its not bad, just formulaic, as all but the first two films in the series have been.
