Tarzan Finds A Son, Movie Poster by Hoch Hollywood Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Actually it was not until I actually started working my way chronologically through the Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs that I discovered Tarzan and Jane did not find their son in a wrecked airplane. The novel "The Son of Tarzan" was actually made into a fairly faithful silent film in 1920, but in 1939's "Tarzan Finds a Son" it became clear that Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan did not father a child with Jane. Why? Probably because women would faint at the idea of Maureen Sullivan's Jane giving birth in the jungle (think of it: Cheetah as the mid-wife). Then again, maybe it was just that pregnancy traditionally results from sex and the Hays Office would have a conniption over the thought of jungle love. Then again, there is always the possibility that it might just be that the theme of the purity of the jungle versus the sins of civilization play up better with this film's storyline.
The plot is pretty simplistic. A plane crashes in the jungle and a baby is the only survivor. Cheetah brings the infant to Tarzan and Jane. Of course, Jane insists they will raise it as their own and acquiesces to the idea of calling the baby boy "Boy" (we can only wonder what would happen if the couple were to come across a second male child in terms of names). Boy (Johnny Shefield) is happy in his jungle home when suddenly a saffair made up of his parents' relatives arrives up the scene to begin a custody dispute, jungle style, which means involving a LOT of elephants.
The bottom line is that "Tarzan Finds a Son!" is the second best of the Weismuller Tarzan films, behind 1934's "Tarzan and His Mate," bringing out a paternal streak in the Lord of the Jungle that becomes him. The chemistry between the trio, represented in this 8 x 10 movie poster, makes this film work despite the limited vocabulary Weismuller's Tarzan has to work with in this series. Not to mention Boy has a pretty good variation of the Tarzan yell going for him.
