What's left behind the scenes

  • The film ranks 35th in attendance among foreign films in Soviet cinema distribution.
  • According to Johnny Weissmuller (1904-1984), he initially auditioned for the role of Tarzan in order to meet Clark Gable (1901-1960), with whom he had a friendly relationship. Weissmuller ran, jumped, and swung on vines, after which he was offered the role, and also advised to take a pseudonym, which Weissmuller flatly refused. The studio official who suggested he take a pseudonym had never heard of Weissmuller. Only later did another studio employee inform the official that this was, in fact, a swimming champion and Olympic medalist.
  • At one time, Clark Gable was considered for the role of Tarzan, but ultimately it was decided not to cast an unknown actor as the ape-man.
  • During the first encounter with Jane, Tarzan fights and kills a leopard. In reality, it was not a leopard, but a jaguar. The jaguar was likely used because it was much cheaper to bring a jaguar from Mexico than to import a real leopard from Africa.
