Tarzan's Revenge, c.1938

Tarzan's Revenge (1938) is an adventure film starring Glenn Morris in his only outing as Tarzan. Eleanor Holm, a popular swimming star, co-starred as Eleanor Reed. Producer Sol Lesser originally considered casting baseball great Lou Gehrig as Tarzan, but was unimpressed with the musculature of Gehrig's legs. Lesser refused to call the lead female character Jane -- according to him, Eleanor Holm was so famous for her swimming exploits that audiences would not accept her portraying anyone other than someone named Eleanor.
