Rating:  - A Fun and Exciting Tarzan Entry
This is one of the very best of the Tarzan entries. MGM built an entire river and jungle covering eighty acres for this one and the underwater sequences shot in Florida are some of the best in this very popular series starring athletic Johnny Weissmuller as Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero and pretty Maureen O'Sullivan as his mate, Jane.
Everything about this one is top-notch. Cedric Gibbons was in charge of art direction and the screenplay from Myles Connolly and Paul Gangelin is excellent, ... Read More
Rating: - A Mountain of Gold
Another fun romp with Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller), Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan), and Boy (Johnny Sheffield), Tarzan's Secret Treasure repeats many of the same things from previous films. While out swimming one day, Boy finds some gold nuggets at the bottom of the lake. Jane points out to him that they would be worth a lot to the outside world, and that the family has many riches easily available to them that would be the envy of civilization. Boy is fascinated, and although he is warned he would not like it, ... Read More
Rating: - BEFORE SUPERMAN WAS SAVING LOIS LANE TARZAN WAS SWINGING AROUND THE MOST DANGEROUS JUNGLE SAVING JANE
IN A NUTSHELL: MORE OF THE SAME -- BUT REALLY EXCITING MORE OF THE SAME!
The tarzan formula with Johnny Weissmuller is a great one and although this edition [Tarzan's Secret Treasure] is not up to the usual standard seen in 'Tarzan The Ape Man' and 'Tarzan And His Mate' it is still a hoot to see as MGM once again did an incredible job with the visual aspect of the film courtesy of Cedric Gibbons, the Art Director and winner of about 15 Academy Awards.

Rating: - Great Treasure
As most Tarzan movies with Johnny Weismueller, this one is great fun. Tarzan, Jane, and Boy once again face danger from outside forces and protect a secret gold treasure hidden in the jungle. The supporting cast including Reginald Owen is great. The group that confronts Boy are a good mix of good to evil. Even though there is a fair amount of stock footage in the movie, it is still a treat. Most kids even today find these movies fun to watch. Considering the great books by Edgar Rice Burroughs it is no surprise. ... Read More
Rating: - Boy find gold. Boy and Jane captured. Tarzan find Boy and Jane. Rescue same.
The 1941 film "Tarzan's Secret Treasure" is the fifth of the twelve Tarzan movies featuring former Olympic swimming champion Johnny Weissmuller as the Ape Man. Weissmuller might not have been the definitive Tarzan, especially for anyone who read the original novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, but he certainly ended up being the most memorable. In "Tarzan's Secret Treasure," Boy (Johnny Sheffield) finds gold at the bottom of the local river and when Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan) explains what it is and what it can buy in ... Read More
