Description: "Me beefcake. You bossy." That kind of sums up the dynamics of 1932's Tarzan, the Ape Man, which stars an incredibly hulking Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan and Maureen O'Sullivan as the gorgeous accidental feminist who finds true love with you-know-who in the jungle. Some of the footage in the first Tarzan talkie is comically dated--scenes of the British adventurers seem superimposed over stock footage of tribesmen and African vistas. But the action is swift and often unexpectedly hiply humorous. When Jane spots Tarzan watching her undress to bathe in the river, she says, "I wish you'd knock before you'd enter my bo ... (more)
