Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) [Blu-Ray]

"Tarzan...Jane...Tarzan...Jane" - these were the iconic words uttered by Johnny Weissmuller in his screen debut as Tarzan, the Ape Man, opposite Maureen O'Sullivan as the captivating Lady Jane. When the mischievous cheetah joined the treetop duo, the trio won the hearts of audiences nationwide. The first in the MGM Tarzan series, Tarzan, the Ape Man remains the quintessential jungle adventure of all time.

Headlining the cast, Olympic swimming champion Weissmuller exudes raw bravery as the loincloth-clad, vine-swinging, gentle-hearted king of the wilderness. The lovely O'Sullivan, meanwhile, radiates charming grace as the young English socialite who, despite initial trepidation, ultimately forsakes civilization to remain in the wild with her primal and passionate lover. Together, the young couple faces a world of perilous danger - most notably, Tarzan's life-or-death struggle with a ferocious gorilla while searching for the "elephant burial ground".

The film's renowned stampede sequence, where wild elements charge in response to their friend's call, stands as one of the most spectacular ever captured on celluloid. Through it all, Tarzan emerges triumphant, cementing his status as a true icon of the silver screen.

The overwhelming success of the initial release led to five sequels over the next decade at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. More than 90 years after its debut, Weissmuller and O'Sullivan's captivating performances continue to light up the screen with timeless adventure and romance, solidifying Tarzan, the Ape Man as an all-time classic.
