TARZAN'S REVENGE

Cinemavixion Review

In the heart of the untamed jungle, "Tarzan's Revenge" (1938) plunges viewers into a world where primal instincts dictate survival. Directed by D. Ross Lederman, this adventure, starring Glenn Morris as the titular hero alongside Eleanor Holm and George Barbier, captures the essence of classic jungle epics. The narrative follows the perils faced by the Reed family and Eleanor's fiancé, Neva Potter, as they navigate treacherous African landscapes, encountering corruption and the raw power of nature. Tarzan's timely interventions, rescuing Eleanor from perilous situations and even freeing captured wildlife, underscore his role as both protector and a force of untamed justice. While the film's plot might tread familiar ground, its execution, particularly Morris's portrayal of Tarzan, offers a compelling glimpse into the enduring allure of the wild and the eternal struggle between civilization and the natural world. A fascinating artifact of early adventure cinema.
