Tarzan of the Movies 2: THE ROMANCE OF TARZAN (1918)


The Romance of Tarzan is a lost film, and by most accounts that's not too great a tragedy. Burroughs didn't authorize it, but the studio went ahead anyway, claiming it was based on the second half of the novel, Tarzan of the Apes. The problem appears to be that Tarzan spends most of the movie in America, wearing a suit.

Amazingly, I can't find a single image of a movie poster anywhere on the 'net. Somebody out there has to be hoarding one. Is it you?
