Tarzan, My Father

2002

Looking back now, at both the films and the memorabilia, I can see that in the earliest of his motion pictures, Tarzan the Ape Man and Tarzan and His Mate, Weissmuller was at his peak. [...] I have a Coca-Cola tray from the early 19305 that features Johnny and Maureen from Tarzan and His Mate, and it's a toss-up as to which is the more attractive, because they're both stunning examples of the Hollywood glorification of youth. [...] After boundary changes were made in 1919, following World War I, the Banat area of Hungary became a part of Romania and Yugoslavia (bounded on the north by the Marcos River, on the east by the Transylvanian Alps, on the south by the Danube, and on the west by the Tisza River). [...] The story of my grandfather is a tragic one, but no different from the thousands of other emigrant stories that record dreams, disap- pointments, and despairs,, We praise the successes of those who came to settle in America and try to forget the failures. [...] That's where I perfected my yodel, by the way." I said, "Dad, I read somewhere that the sound experts in the film studio took your yodel and reworked it and put a lot of other sounds in there to make the Tarzan yell." He answered, "Well, yeah, they did that at first, but then I just practiced it and learned how to imitate it.
