Censors Missed This Revealing Peek At Jane's "Forbidden Zone" In TARZAN & HIS MATE (1934) (video)




Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan) was a wild girl in 1934 when she and Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) cavorted in TARZAN AND HIS MATE.

But she was only allowed to wear that revealing two-piece jungle bikini once.

The censors retired it in time for the next movie, TARZAN ESCAPES (1936).

Her nude swim, unsurprisingly, also got the chop.

But in a later shot that didn't get snipped, we get perhaps the most revealing look of all.

It's a wonder this totally unobstructed peek at Jane's "forbidden zone" didn't give the censors a collective heart attack.

Schnarzan The Conqueror!! (Jimmy Durante) From "Hollywood Party" (Pre-Code, 1934) (video)




In the pre-code comedy "Hollywood Party", Jimmy Durante...

...plays big screen jungle hero "Schnarzan the Conqueror!!"

Jungle Woman's naughty uncensored outfit is matched only by Durante's manic comic intensity.

This mock trailer is a delightfully lowbrow example of Old Hollywood making fun of itself.

The OTHER Tarzan Yells (Besides Johnny Weissmuller) (video)




One of the most distinctive things about the ever-popular Tarzan is his yell.

Most fans agree that Johnny Weissmuller had the definitive Tarzan yell.

But there were others...

Larry "Buster" Crabbe
Herman Brix (aka Bruce Bennett)
Glen Morris
Jock Mahoney

Some just borrowed the old Weissmuller yell...

Gordon Scott
Denny Miller
Ron Ely

And the first screen Tarzan, Elmo Lincoln, shows us what his 1918 silent cry sounded like...
