Though for me, Weismuller will always be Tarzan. I would have been about seven years old when I first saw a bunch of them -- one of the local TV channels here in Minneapolis showed them on Saturday evenings for a while.<br /><br />It wasn't till many years later that I first saw "Tarzan, the Ape Man," which I think may have been the first one Weismuller and O'Sullivan made together. Pretty much the standard Tarzan stuff, with a scene at the end showing (from behind) Tarzan and Jame and Cheetah the chimp standing hand in hand on a hilltop, looking off into what may have been a sunset, or anyway a bright vista, with a few bars of Tchaikowsky's "Romeo and Juliet" as background music.<br /><br />I don't remember exactly when I saw the movie (maybe late 1970's or early 1980's), though sometime after that, Maureen O'Sullivan was on the David Letterman show one evening (around the time she'd been in Woody Allen's movie Hannah and Her Sisters), and she told a story about making the movie "Tarzan, the Ape Man."<br /><br />She said that the chimpanzee that served as Cheetah apparently was at times overly attracted to Johnny Weismuller, and sometimes became very demonstrative while they were filming. So in many of the scenes with Cheetah, the chimpanzee had to be restrained with a chain leash around the lower leg. O'Sullivan said (I haven't evern checked this out myself) that in the final scene in the movie, as they're standing looking into the distance, you can see the leash, a little bit, if you look closely.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-79993366704389519522013-03-03T16:46:26.052-05:002013-03-03T16:46:26.052-05:00Oh, sully van!
