An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More)

Tarzan and His Mate, the 1934 Cedric Gibbons, James C. McKay, & Jack Conway romantic action jungle adventure fantasy thriller ("Johnny Weissmuller is back again!"; "It's new!"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), Neil Hamilton, Paul Cavanagh (billed as "Paul Cavanaugh"), Forrester Harvey, and Ray Corrigan (as an uncredited gorilla!). Note that many feel that this movie is superior to the first movie in the series, 1932's "Tarzan the Ape Man", because that movie contained a huge amount of introductory material and focused on characters other than Tarzan and Jane. This movie focuses almost exclusively on Tarzan and Jane. Also, there is a famous nude swimming scene with Jane but it was not actually Maureen O'Sullivan. She was apparently fine with the nudity but suffered from claustrophobia and couldn't bear to put her face under water, and so she was doubled by Olympic gold medal winner Josephine McKim. Interestingly, there were three versions of this scene, one with her traditional costume, one topless, and one completely nude. This was done so that individual U.S. states could select the version to be shown, but the entire scene was eventually removed due to protests from conservative religious groups (the nude version has been restored to modern releases of the film). Also note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit!

Important Added Info: Note that this great still shows Johnny Weissmuller doing his famous "Tarzan yell" (in actuality, it was created in the studio, and Weissmuller learned to do an imitation of it, since fans always wanted him to do it!).

Condition: very good. There are a few small tears in the right of the bottom border that were repaired with tape from the back, and there are a few faint smudges around the edges. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
