ever want to know just how much hollywood could get away with before the hayes code be officially put into effect . well and unfortunately convention city be lose and so well just have to watch tarzan and his mate to find out . for 1934 and there be a remarkable amount of sexual innuendo and even expose flesh . just look at jane nude swim . while tarzan be often think of a b adventure film make for young boy and no one else and this picture prove that the series be originally very adult . over seventy year later and it be still as sexy a it be when it come out . in addition to the envelope push taboo nature and it be a superb and exciting adventure story . i have always enjoy the jungle film that hollywood churn out in the 30 and the 40 and but there be few from the genre i would call great film . tarzan and his mate be by far the best film from this long go subgenre . the sequence of the attack on the safari by either ape or native still manage to create tension today . also and the animal be all too cool ( espescially the ape throw boulder ) . the act would not win any major award soon and but be certainly more than adequate for this type of picture . the film be once again steal by cheetah and the smart monkey in the jungle . one of the most entertaining example of pre code hollywood out there .
