help Tarzan and His Mate FAQ
Is Tarzan and His Mate a sequel to Tarzan the Ape Man?
Yes. The 1934 film is the second MGM Tarzan feature starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, following Tarzan the Ape Man from 1932.
Why is Tarzan and His Mate considered a pre-Code film?
It was produced before Hollywood began enforcing the Production Code much more strictly in mid-1934. Jane's revealing costume, her relationship with Tarzan, and the film's swimming sequence were more sexually frank than later MGM sequels.
What brings Harry Holt back to Tarzan and Jane's jungle?
Harry returns with Martin Arlington on an expedition to the Mutia Escarpment's elephant burial ground. He also hopes to persuade Jane to leave Tarzan and return to civilization.
Why was Tarzan and His Mate added to the National Film Registry?
The Library of Congress selected it for preservation in 2003 as culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. It is especially noted for its action staging and unusually bold depiction of Jane for a 1930s studio adventure.
