The Tarzan Collection
Starring : Johnny Weismuller
Tarzan is a fictional character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in
the novel
Tarzan of the Apes, first published in a pulp magazine in 1912 and
as a book
in 1914. The very first Tarzan movie was a silent one, filmed in
1918.
More then 80 movies were produced since then. With the advent of the
talkies,
a popular Tarzan movie franchise was developed, starting with Tarzan
the Ape Man
in 1932, with a total of twelve films produced until 1948, in which
the former
Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller performed as Tarzan. The Tarzan
yell
introduced by these movies is still a reference to this day. Those
were the
movies that started it all and they continue to be popular, in a
class of their own.
