Description

A vintage movie poster reprint of ''Tarzan and the Amazons'', a 1945 adventure film in the Tarzan series, directed by Kurt Neumann and starring Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan. This installment follows the adventures of the iconic jungle hero as he encounters a group of explorers searching for a hidden tribe of Amazon women in the African jungle.

The story begins when a team of explorers, led by Professor Blakely (played by Henry Stephenson) and his daughter Athena (played by Evelyn Ankers), arrive in the jungle in search of the fabled Amazon tribe of women warriors. Tarzan, played by Johnny Weissmuller, becomes involved when he and his chimpanzee companion Cheetah rescue the explorers from a dangerous animal encounter.

As the explorers continue their quest to find the Amazon women, Tarzan becomes concerned about the potential disruption to the jungle's harmony. He must balance his desire to protect his home and its wildlife with the curiosity and ambitions of the explorers.

"Tarzan and the Amazons" is a classic entry in the Tarzan film series known for its action-packed sequences, exotic jungle settings, and the athleticism of Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan. The film also explores themes of environmental conservation and respect for nature, as Tarzan fights to protect his jungle domain.

Johnny Weissmuller, famous for his Olympic swimming career and his portrayal of Tarzan in multiple films, once again embodies the role with his trademark strength and agility. His chemistry with Maureen O'Sullivan, who plays Jane, adds to the film's appeal.

While "Tarzan and the Amazons" may not be as widely celebrated as some of the earlier Tarzan films, it remains an entertaining and enjoyable addition to the Tarzan series. It continues to be appreciated by fans of adventure and jungle-themed cinema for its action, wildlife encounters, and the enduring appeal of Johnny Weissmuller as the jungle hero.
