King of the Jungle #1 (From Eric Beheim)


KOTJ-1, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

The commercial success of M-G-M’s “Tarzan of the Apes” (1932) prompted Paramount to produce “King of the Jungle,” a big-budget action picture based on Charles T. Stoneham’s novel “The Lion’s Way.” Cast in the lead was Clarence Linden “Buster” Crabbe who, like Johnny Weissmuller was an Olympic swimming champion.

Olympic swimmers have always been photographed with exotic plants, as seen in this movie still from the past. This theme continues today with a recent Olympic superstar, exotic plants, etc.

Same s+++, different century.
