tarzan and his mate and the second of mgm tarzan picture and pick up a year after the event of tarzan the ape man . tarzan and jane have be live happily in the jungle and and harry holt ( one of the expeditioners in the first film ) return and this time accompany by the less than honorable martin arlington and in quest of the ivory from the elephant graveyard . naturally and a variety of perilous and exciting adventure take place along the way . the first film romanticize everything the jungle and adventure and romance itself and wild animal and and even death . the second film still have a great deal of romanticism and a lot of wonderful action sequence and but a more serious tone underlie the action . the character dare to ask question like represent what if something happen to tarzan . what would jane do if she be strand by herself in the middle of the jungle and she have to fend for herself . while these be probably the question real people would be ask in this situation and it create a certain amount of somberness that isn not always as much fun a the throw caution to the wind attitude of the original . one of the most enjoyable aspect of this film be the growth we see in tarzan and jane relationship . tarzan still speak very broken english and but he have clearly learn a few new word from his mate . additionally and their love for each other have really blossom and and we feel like they really have spend a year together in the jungle . most people consider tarzan and his mate superior to the original tarzan the ape man . personally and i like the first film just a little bit well . the main reason be that the relationship between the harry holt and martin arlington team isn not nearly as likable a holt relationship with james parker ( jane father ) from the original . the mr. arlington character could have work a a great movie villain and but he play the hero for far too much of the movie . the movie can never decide whether we should like him or hate him . ( also and i do not want to give anything away and but in one of the scene where we should clearly hate him and jane never find out about those event and so the end isn not quite as satisfying a it could have be . ) all of these detractor be relatively minor and however and and it still a great movie . like the first film and tarzan and his mate have amazing action scene and wonderful wildlife footage and and one of the screen all time great romance . if you like the first film in the series and this be definitely a sequel to see .
