Looks like Johnny Weissmuller will be on all day! In my youth, a Saturday when one of these films showed up on the afternoon movie was a good day. Any opinions on the best (and worst) Weissmuller Tarzan film?

The best was probably Tarzan and His Mate. My converted Johnny Weissmuller…

Hard to say,but most of 'em are unforgettable IMO. Tarzan Finds A Son!,Tarzan's New York Adventure,and when he takes on the Third Reich in another one. And Maureen O'Sullivan as a fine Jane Parker. |

"Tarzan and his Mate" is certainly the best. All of the MGM Tarzan flicks are pretty good. With "Tarzan Triumphs" the series moved to RKO and the budget shows it. "Tarzan Triumphs" and "Tarzan's Desert Mystery" involves our hero battling Germans and Nazi spies which is pretty cool, and be sure to catch "Tarzan's New York Adventure". It's great fun watching Tarzan swinging from building to building! IMHO, none of the post WW II Tarzan flicks with Brenda Joyce as Jane are very good. |

FANTASTIC!
But I may have to tivo it. Cannot stop watching the Olympics..
I love the Cuba story… According to David Wallechinsky's Complete Book of the Olympics, while playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Cuba in 1958, Weissmuller's golf cart was suddenly captured by rebel soldiers. Weissmuller sized up the situation, got out of the cart and gave his trademark Tarzan yell. The shocked rebels soon began to jump up and down, calling "Tarzan! Welcome to Cuba!" Johnny and his companions were not only not kidnapped, but were given a rebel escort to the golf course. (insert Tarzan yell here…)  |
