Auction History Result 2j795 TARZAN FINDS A SON LC #7 R58 Johnny Weissmuller rescues Maureen O'Sullivan from natives! Date Sold 5/24/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1958) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #7 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Tarzan Finds a Son!, the 1939 Richard Thorpe Africa jungle action adventure fantasy thriller ("ALL NEW! The First Tarzan Picture in 3 Years!"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), Johnny Sheffield (billed as "John Sheffield"; as "Boy"), Ian Hunter, Henry Stephenson, Frieda Inescort, Henry Wilcoxon, Laraine Day, Morton Lowry, Gavin Muir, and Cheetah (the chimpanzee). Note that in the books, Tarzan and Jane were married, and there was nothing wrong with them having a son. But in the movies, the producers feared that their son would be considered "illegitimate", so they had him "found" in the jungle (and he was referred to as "Tarzan Jr." in some of the early advertising, but that was dropped, perhaps because it made it obvious he was really Weissmuller's son!). Also, the movie originally ended with Jane dying, because Maureen O'Sullivan didn't want to make anymore Tarzan movies. But fans protested mightily, and the ending was quickly changed so that she survived, and Maureen O'Sullivan was convinced to appear in two more Tarzan movies! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this card has only a number in the bottom border and "Country of Origin U.S.A." at bottom left, but no other writing. Someone hand wrote "Tarzan Finds a Son" on the back of the card. We imagine it is likely an undated 1958 re-release (we have seen a dated pressbook for a 1958 re-issue). If anyone knows more about this card, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
