Auction History Result 7t1288 TARZAN & HIS MATE 8x10.25 still 1934 great posed portrait of Johnny Weissmuller in a tree! Date Sold 12/17/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. There is pencil writing on the back of the upper center, which caused slight indentations on the front of that area, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. There is tiny paper loss in the bottom left blank corner. Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
