Mexican Lobby Card:
Tarzan’s Secret Treasure (1941)

I've probably seen every Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movie at least four times. They'd pop up every weekend on local television (Sunday, I recall), along with Abbott and Costello movies. In this one, the natives truly are restless, causing much mayhem for Jane and Boy. I hear a new reboot of the Tarzan storyline is coming from Hollywood. I'm sure they'll muck it up with the usual flair for petulant-scripting you get from writers unfamiliar with how to handle a particular genre. Like jungle movies. Back in the 1940s, there was an aura of mystery and danger you could play with. Today, if Tarzan's not carrying a cell phone and selfie-stick, I'd wonder what the hell was wrong with him.
