I am the mightiest of the jungle fighters. You are Jane Porter, I saw it in your letter. When you see this you will know that it is for you and that Tarzan of the Apes loves you.”

With film, you wouldn't know until you got the prints back if something was messed up, and then there was nothing you could do. That was a huge advantage.”
“I guess I'm just lucky with my genes.”
