Tarzan's Secret Treasure 1941, directed by Richard Thorpe, based on characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, starring Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, Johnny Sheffield, Reginald Owen, Barry Fitzgerald, Tom Conway, Philip Dorn and others. Matinee adventure about Tarzan's jungle home, and his family, Jane and Boy, that are threatened by men greedy for gold that started as a scientific expedition. Boy speaks very American-English even if he is brought up by a man who hardly speaks and a woman who speaks British-English. A first this time is that the nice guy (Fitzgerald) of the expedition isn't shot in his back and dies. This was the fifth of the MGM Tarzan movies. Cheetah the Chimp's escapades takes up a bit too much time, maybe those escapades was thought as funny once, I thought they were. A nice touch is that Boy strikes a friendship with a black boy named Tumbo who has just lost his mother, and is treated as an equal by Tarzan, Jane and the nice guys of the expedition.   Yes we saw it too, enjoyed it
