What critics compared Tarzan the Ape Man to
Some 20 movies, starting with the 1918 silent (with Elmo Lincoln in the title role) and going on to the Johnny Weissmuller/Maureen O'Sullivan classics (the first of which, Tarzan the Ape Man, came out in '32), the 1981 Miles O'Keeffe/Bo Derek remake, Hugh Hudson's 1984 Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (with Christopher Lambert and Andie MacDowell), and last year's Tarzan and the Lost City (with Casper Van Dien and Jane March).
Both qualities are on amply display in the bombshell's 1981 bomb, "Tarzan, the Ape Man."
Poor Tarzan, once king of the jungle, has been reduced to the status of mere sex object in this latest screen adaptation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure-classic, ''Tarzan, the Ape Man.''
Over the coming weeks, we'll be covering seven of Warner's Tarzan titles, the first six of which (Tarzan the Ape Man, Tarzan and His Mate, Tarzan Escapes, Tarzan Finds a Son!, Tarzan's Secret Treasure, Tarzan's New York Adventure) are available only as a package deal known as "The Tarzan Collection," whose supplementary material we'll cover in conjunction with Tarzan's New York Adventure.…
Roman Holiday and Tarzan the Ape Man both factor into some of the main scenarios, and keeping with the Kurosawa love in Millennium Actress one character even manifests as the director in his dreams (you can tell by the hat and sun-glasses).
