Theatrical trailer for the 1932 screen classic, TARZAN, THE APE MAN, starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan.
Though scripter Cyril Hume's mono-syllabic portrait of Tarzan was a far cry from Edgar Rice Burroughs' well-educated jungle lord, it became the template for most screen interpretations of the character for over two decades. Even so, former Olympic swimming champ Johnny Weissmuller and contractee Maureen O'Sullivan, were so popular as Tarzan and Jane -- they made six films together -- that, over three-quarters of a century after the release of this film, they still remain the two actors most associated with the roles. During his reign as the Ape Man between 1932 and 1948, Weissmuller would star in twelve Tarzan films, before relinquishing his loincloth to Lex Barker. The same year he began another career trek as "Jungle Jim" in series of programmers for producer Sam Katzman, that would last through 16 feature films from 1948 and 1955 and 26 television episodes.

@silversification It wasn't a "t.v. series" for crissake. These Tarzan films were theatrical releases for crissake.

The word "ungowa" meant so many things, LOL, Tarzan could use it to call the elephants for help and at the same time use it to tell someone to go away or move. Love these movies!
