Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I really enjoyed those movies as a kid. When he'd give the Tarzan yell and he and the various animals would come charging to the rescue, it was pretty exciting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 One of the, if not the, last book in the series is called Tarzan's Foreign Legion. World War II, and there's an American bomber in Dutch Guinea. They have a RAF officer - a colonel named Clayton - who's going to deadhead with them. And they get shot down and they all bail out and when they got to the ground they're trying to get back together. The American crew all find themselves, and they're looking for that poor dumb britisher, when they hear a voice coming from up in the trees. They look up there, and there's an almost naked man wearing a breach clout made from parachute silk. Naturally they decide that he hit his head and has gone crazy. And the captain yells up to him, asking him what he's doing up in the tree like some bally Tarzan. He replies that he is Tarzan. Now they're sure he's gone wacky, and then the captain snaps his fingers and says, "That's why that name sounded familiar. John Clayton, Lord Greystoke. He is Tarzan." And one of the gunners looks over at the captain and asks, "You mean dat's Johnny Weissmuller?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but to a young boy, some of the swimming/water rescue scenes were rather revealing in some of the earlier black and white Tarzan movies. Looking back now, I'm surprised that they were shown during the late 60's on tv. Some kids might have said Shazam, I always said Ungawa! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jane swimming scenes were pretty revealing at the time. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Far and away the best scene: I guess you have to go to youtube to watch it, yet it passed the movie codes of the time! It's the swimming scene with Jane. Just hit that youtube link. While Weismuller was a great Tarzan, the REAL Tarzan is still the one of the books; considerably different.

Alpo Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) https://www.tcm.com/video/76344/tarzan-and-his-mate-original-trailer Well heck. Unlike YouTube, TCM won't embed. That's okay though. Follow the link. The original trailer of the second movie. And I think the nude swimming scene slid by because the Hays commission didn't start until 34, and the movie was released in 34, and I'm betting the movie was released before the commission happened. And I'm sure this will ruin everybody's lustful thoughts, but that's not Maureen O'Sullivan. It's her body double. Josephine McKim. Like Johnny, an Olympic gold medalist. 1928 and 1932.

Gracos Kid Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 One of my favorite scenes when I was a child was in "Tarzan's New York Adventure" when Cheeta plays with the phone in the hotel room and dials Club Moonbeam, answered by the janitor who thinks it's some kid pulling a joke..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forcing me to pull it out and watch it again. The only scene I recall is Tarzan diving off the Brooklyn Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
