Tarzan the Ape Man is a 1932 pre-Code American action adventure film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer featuring Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous jungle hero Tarzan and starring Johnny Weissmuller, Neil Hamilton, C. Aubrey Smith and Maureen O'Sullivan. It was Weissmuller's first of 12 Tarzan films. O'Sullivan played Jane in six features between 1932 and 1942.[2] The film is loosely based on Burroughs' novel Tarzan of the Apes from approximately two decades earlier, with the dialogue written by Ivor Novello. The film was directed by W. S. Van Dyke. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released two remakes of Tarzan, the Ape Man in 1959 and in 1981, but each was a different adaptation of Rice Burroughs' novel.
James Parker (C. Aubrey Smith) and Harry Holt (Neil Hamilton) travel in Africa on a quest for the legendary elephant burial grounds and their ivory. They are joined by Parker's daughter Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan). Holt is attracted to Jane, and tries somewhat ineffectively to protect her from the jungle's dangers. He notably fails to prevent her abduction by the jungle's guardian, the mysterious Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) and his ape allies.
The experience is terrifying to Jane at first, but as their relationship develops, she finds herself happy: 'Not a bit afraid, not a bit sorry.' As she returns to her father, her feelings are brought to a test. She wants Tarzan to come with her to London, and to be part of her world. But Tarzan turns his back on her and returns to the jungle. Her father tells her that is where Tarzan belongs, she cries, 'No dad, he belongs to me.'
The expedition is captured by a tribe of aggressive dwarfs. Jane sends Tarzan's ape friend Cheeta (Jiggs) for help, bringing Tarzan to their rescue. During the rescue, Tarzan summons elephants and they escape from the dwarf's stronghold, although Jane's father dies from wounds just as they reach the elephant graveyard. Jane decides to stay in the jungle with Tarzan and in the final scene, to the music of Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet, the happy couple appear on a rock, Jane holding Cheeta like a baby.
The film was shot on Lot One of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios in Culver City, California and at the Lake Sherwood area north of Los Angeles.[3] Lions from the film were borrowed from nearby Goebel's Lion Farm in Thousand Oaks, CA. Goebel himself would often camp by the filming site near Lake Sherwood to watch his lions during filming.[4]
As with most Weissmuller Tarzan films, the elephants were Indian, which have smaller ears, rather than African, so large fake ears, and fake tusks, were fitted onto the animals in an attempt to make them look authentic.[5] Similarly, the tribe of African dwarfs, made to look like pygmies (all males), portrayed in the film was actually a cast of several white midgets wearing blackface.[5]
Stock footage made in Africa for W.S. Van Dyke's Trader Horn was added to location work shot in the then-undeveloped Toluca Lake region north of Los Angeles.[6]
The film was released on April 4, 1932.
The film was MGM's biggest film of the season with a worldwide rental of $2,540,000. A subsequent re-release earned an additional $225,000.[1]
Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 100%, based on 13 reviews, with a rating average of 7.8/10.[7]

The first teaser trailer for 2016's upcoming Tarzan reboot The Legend of Tarzanis officially here, and it comes with some major plot reveals (as well as plenty of shots of a super buff Alexander Skarsgård leaping through the trees).
From the opening moments of the trailer, it's clear that this film is a far cry from Disney's 1999 cartoon version of Tarzan (which featured a legitimately awesome soundtrack by Phil Collins). This new film, directed by the Harry Potter franchise's David Yates, seems dark and foreboding from the outset of the two-minute trailer.
The film is set years after Tarzan, played by Skarsgård, has 'left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke,' according to the film's official website. 'Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Capt. Leon Rom.'
Rom, the movie's apparent villain, is played by Christoph Waltz, who appears in the trailer looking appropriately colonialist.
It's not yet clear how, but it seems from the trailer that, at some point in the film, Skarsgård will shed his 'gentrified' identity and go back to running shirtless through the rainforest and hanging out with apes. Torrent propellerhead recycle mac download. Get ready for some epic jumping shots.
The trailer also indicates audiences can expect some baby Tarzan flashback sequences, some ape vs. human showdowns and, of course, a little romance. Tarzan's wife, Jane, will be played by Margot Robbie.
