If you liked the 1941 Johnny Weissmuller opus Tarzans New York Adventure, youll go ape (sorry!) over the made-for-TV Tarzan in Manhattan. The Jungle Lord uncovers an insidious plot by a covetous scientist to enhance the natural IQ of African monkeys. To prevent his beloved Cheetah from falling into the hands of vivisectionists, Tarz heads for New York, where he meets his Jane (Kim Crosby) -- a wisecracking cabbie. Tony Curtis plays Janes father, barely justifying his special guest star credit. Tarzan in Manhattan was the pilot for a TV series that just plain didnt swing. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
