''Tarzan's Desert Mystery'' is a 1943 film starring Johnny Weismuller and Nancy Kelly, and directed by Wilhelm Thiele. Like its immediate predecessor, ''Tarzan Triumphs'', this movie makes reference to Tarzan's mate, Jane, played in earlier Weissmuller films by Maureen O'Sullivan, but it does not show her on screen. The explanation given is that she is in England helping the war effort. (When the character of Jane finally did return in the next Tarzan film, she was played by Brenda Joyce, not O'Sullivan.) The film revolves around Tarzan's quest, at the urging of Jane, to find a rare African serum to help Allied troops. Tarzan's son, Boy, manages to tag along as the apeman journeys into the Sahara, and the two are soon joined by a rambunctious horse and a female American magician, played by Nancy Kelly. The story is mostly a fantasy adventure—with "Arabian Nights"-style characters and sinister Nazi spies—but it also includes considerable comic relief and even science-fiction elements. Critics complained that it was aimed more toward juvenile audiences than previous Tarzan films had been. ==Cast== * Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan * Nancy Kelly as Connie Bryce * Johnny Sheffield as Boy * Otto Kruger as Paul Hendrix * Joe Sawyer as Karl Straeder * Lloyd Corrigan as Sheik Abdul El Khim * Robert Lowery as Prince Selim * Frank Puglia as Magistrate * Philip Van Zandt as Kushmet 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tarzan's Desert Mystery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
