"Tarzan Of The Apes" Tony's Comments:
"Tarzan Of The Apes" was the first film to be made about the great white ape. Elmo Lincoln, complete with headband and leopard skin seat covers, stars in this landmark film. Elmo may not have been the best-looking Tarzan or the most athletic but he will nevertheless go down in history as the first man to put on the loincloth. The woman who had the honour of becoming the screen's first Jane was actress Enid Markey. This silent feature comes in at a running time of just under 1 hour but covers a lot of ground and stays true to Edgar Rice Burroughs' original vision of the legendary jungle man. The amazing thing about this film is that we get 3 Tarzan's for the price of one. Playing Tarzan as a young boy is Gordon Griffith and the man responsible for most of the tree work was stuntman Stellan Windrow. The star, Elmo Lincoln who was reportedly frightened of heights, was confined to do all-the ground work and close ups. "Tarzan Of The Apes" is a real curiosity piece, obviously dated by today's standards, but still well worth a look at for Tarzan fans.
