What we all wanted to see just once one time, Tarzan in the big city jungle, comes to life in this highly entertaining movie.

Or Tarzan, the Family Man. When circus animal trackers kidnap Boy (the cads, the filthy blighters!) Tarzan, Jane and Cheetah are hot in pursuit. The works leans heavily on Cheetah as comic relief, although Jane gets to shine as the translator/diplomat of the jungle clan, and of course there's the muscular Pop, the fearsome and brooding jungle Lord, swinging into action should Ma but release him from the tiresome bonds of acting civil. Fun for the whole family, even today.

Tarzan out of his jungle makes for a slightly refreshing storyline which amuses in places. First of all he's in a suit, and secondly he brings Cheetah!

After all, there is one thing that can be said about Tarzan's New York Adventure and never let it be said that we failed to give praise where it was due. The picture is the story of an adventure Tarzan has in New York.
