Tarzan Of The Apes

Edgar Rice Burroughs' hero has thrilled movie audiences since the days of the silent screen. Tarzan first swung from the trees in Tarzan of the Apes (1918) with the brawny Elmo Lincoln in the title role. With various Louisiana locations serving as a jungle backdrop, director Scott Sidney told the traditional tale of how the orphaned heir to the Greystoke fortune became lord of the jungle. Billed in the old adverts as The most startling and unforgettable story ever written, the plot involves a search for the missing Greystoke led by Dr. Porter (Thomas Jefferson), which finds Tarzan in the middle of a brutal vendetta. It appears Tarzan is out to avenge the killing of Kala, the ape who raised him. Soon everyone learns it is not wise to make Tarzan angry. Tarzan of the Apes also stars Enid Markey as Porter's beautiful daughter, Jane, the woman Tarzan loves. As the early promos promised, You NEVER Will See Another Production Like It! This release includes the bonus feature, The Adventures of Tarzan (1928). Both features are newly restored.
