No disrespect to my stunning wife (yes, truly stunning mind you).
But Maureen O’Sullivan ….. just WOW, whata beauty.

I was thinking Brendan Fraser as George of the Jungle

Oh my gosh @Jfet ! As you know from reading my book, I was infatuated with Tarzan and looked forward to the movies every weekend until I was kicked out of the LR by my Dad and brothers. Tarzan is where I first formed my love of Africa. BUT, I don't know if I can pick a favorite! I think I need to go back and watch them ALL all over again to make a good decision! LOL! Thanks for sharing.
Who is your favorite Tarzan?
Enjoy.
Hey @Just Gina ! I wish we could get together and have a Tarzan movie party! We could watch them all and make sure we choose our favorite correctly! LOL. I went and looked up some of the Tarzans and realized that I have missed a bunch!Johnny Weissmuller
Oh yea! I liked him!Ron Ely from the Tarzan TV series in the late 60’s
Interesting....but I had a hard time checking out the Janes. My eyes didn't get much past whoever was paying Tarzan. I did like "Boy" though!Interesting additional story;
So Maureen O’sullivan’s wardrobe in 1934’s “Tarzan and His Mate” was considered quite scandalous exposed from ankle all the way through the hip. And they shot several scenes with a double in the nude. MGM was forced to edit the scenes. Wasn’t until 1986 when Ted Turner purchased the rights to old MGM catalog when the original version was discovered and released.
The up and rising NAZI party banned the film but not because of the scantily clad Jane. Because they didn't like the portrayal of one of the actors.

@Hunt anything Jane? There was a Jane in the movies? What........ My eyes didn't leave whoever was playing Tarzan at the time. LOL.Who cares about Tarzan how about Jane? LOL
He is who I always think of from my youth....but I have liked MANY of the others over the years as well!The Only one!!
Oh MY GOSH @rinehart0050 You have NEVER seen a Tarzan movie! I can't even imagine. They were a huge part of my weekends in the winter months any time my Dad and brothers left the house. (We only had one TV and majority ruled....and Tarzan was NOT their choice. LOL).I've actuality never seen any of the movies, but Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of my favorite authors, whether Tarzan, John Carter, or any of his other heroes.
@Tom Leoni He was the classic Tarzan for sure....BUT I had a LOT of favorites. LOL!Is there anyone even in the running, besides the one and only Johnny Weissmüller?
@JimP It is so funny....but until this post I never even considered that men might have like Jane! Isn't that ridiculous. I was too infatuated with whoever was playing Tarzan!For me there was only one, Johnny Weissmüller and Maureen O'Sullivan is the only Jane that I'll accept.

@JimP Geez, I wish my brothers would have been interested in Jane! I might have been able to watch a LOT more Tarzans. I always got booted from the TV room as soon as Dad and the boys came home....right when Tarzan was about to rescue Jane or Boy from a pit of vipers or some such thing.That's the girly side of you showing.
I always had a crush on Maureen O'Sullivan along with a few others as I watched movies as I was a kid.
I've noticed lately that TCM has been showing Tarzan movies on Sunday mornings.
