About This Movie

So, 'Tarzan and the Green Goddess' from 1938 is an interesting film, definitely worth discussing among collectors. Directed by Edward A. Kull, it wraps up the saga from the 1935 serial 'The New Adventures of Tarzan'. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times—like they were trying to squeeze too much into a short runtime—but that gives it a certain charm. The atmosphere is classic jungle adventure, complete with practical effects that showcase the era's creativity. You get a solid performance from the lead, who embodies the character of Tarzan with that rugged simplicity. The quest for the titular Green Goddess totem adds a layer of mystique, even if the execution sometimes falters. Still, it's a nice piece of Tarzan history, especially for those interested in the evolution of these cinematic tales.

Final feature adaptation of the 1935 serial.Interesting blend of action and adventure themes.Highlights the practical effects of the late 1930s.
