Trailer - Tarzan and the Leopard Woman (1946)

PLEASE READ THIS - This video was uploaded to Youtube specifically to embed in my web page about this film:

"Tarzan and the Leopard Woman" was Johnny Weissmuller's fourth RKO film, and his tenth as Tarzan. It was directed by Kurt Neumann in 1946 and also starred Brenda Joyce as Jane; Johnny Sheffield as Boy; Acquanetta as Lea, the High Priestess; Edgar Barrier as Dr Ameer Lazar; and Tommy Cook as Kimba.

This clip was taken from a documentary called "Tarzan at the Movies" (1996) and the enjoyment of the trailer is marred by the narrator's commentary. I plan to replace this clip with an untainted copy of the trailer when I find it. If you can help me out with this please drop me a line.

Did'nt Maureen O Sullivan do a nude swimming scene in that movie? I remember watching a Little Rascals where Spanky , about three years old was telling babies as small as him about Tarzan. It was the one where Spanky was in charge of the babies and he was a baby himself. He glued their diapers to the floor. One baby kept saying "Remarkable!" I think it was Wheezers real life brother.

Maureen O'Sullivan's last Tarzan film had been 'Tarzan's New York Adventure' in 1942, Weissmuller's last film with MGM. She didn't want to continue with the series when it moved to RKO studios in 1943 and Brenda Joyce took over as Jane.

The nude scene you are referring to is from 'Tarzan and His Mate' from 1934 but a former Olympic swimmer named Josephine McKim doubled for Ms O'Sullivan in those scenes.

In "Tarzan the Ape Man" (1932), Johnny Weissmuller fights a leopard. At 37:28 his loincloth is very loose and his testicles are clearly visible. You can see if you play it in very slow motion.

How come I keep getting comments about glimpses of Johnny Weissmuller's testicles? I hope you don't mind if I do not run to my DVD and fast forward to this less-than-delectable scene.

Acquanetta was a lovely woman.

Dear pgw2000,

If you go to 37:28 you'll see his testicles. Morality must be upheld. In my church this video was played several times and the segment mentioned was the subject of lively discussion every single time.

This movie Bad

[pwgr2000]

What you need to understand is that the human race is both complex and unpredictable. There are sexual websites out there catering to fetishes for exactly these three categories - the old, the fat and the ugly, and sometimes all three together. What you are talking about is the preferences of the majority, not the totality, so "never" is the wrong word.

@unomattwill i always find it interesting that those that want to view a nude human either want the body young, thin, and good looking. how come you never hear of anyone that wants to view a human that's either old,fat,or ugly ?

[unomattwill]

@canyonade you need not own a damn TV...whats wrong with seein the human body?

[unomattwill]

@canyonade you are so fried! get a grip!

In the swimming scene it's the Olympic champion who appears, as pwgr2000 correctly points out. It is plain immoral to show such full nudity in a film watched by so many minors. In the rest of the movie it's Maureen O'Sullivan, who wears a scanty costume that often exposes bare buttocks.

@Sheri451

As pwgr2000 says, it was the Olympic swimmer who did the scene. Be as it tmay, the scene was not suitable for minor audiences, or for any audiences. She was totally nude. And in the movie itself, the real Jane wore a very scant costume that often displayed her buttocks.

Tarzan Faces A Feminine Menace For The First Time indeed!!! With Johnny Weissmuller looking outstanding at age 41, the producers not only trimmed his loincloth to its skimpiest since Tarzan Escapes, but they also couldn't pass up the titillating opportunity to put Tarzan in bondage being threatened with torture by an exotically sexy woman in Acquanetta.

Even though she does not follow through with torturing him (unfortunately), it's still one of the most "adult" scenes ever in a Tarzan film.
