Weissmullers only leading role where he's not wearing a loin cloth or khaki. Of course you can't make a Johnny Weissmuller movie without an evil crocodile or two.Also starring Buster Crabbe another great swimmer/Tarzan actor.
as johnny would say--ungawa--thanks for posting-always interesting to watch his movies--a whole generation of boomers watched him in 50/60/70s--he was a hero/legend status in many countries--
Crabbe loved being the villian, reporting that in those days, you looked at a girl a certain way, it still passed muster.
Weissmuller & Crabbe were never buddies. Crabbe was no match for Weissmuller in the '28Olympics. By '32, positions switched. Crabbe never tired of pointing out boasts by Johnny he did his own Tarzan yell were bogus.
As Weismuller matured, his jaw shifted, much of his looks faded.
Crabbe, saving for law school, found he made more money an actor. The rest's hisory.
