- Cheetah appears only during one line (``So long, Cheetah''). This is
because the chimpanzees brought from England to Kenya for the filming
were so terrified of the jungle night noises they wouldn't perform.
- 'Sean Connery' (qv) was paid $5,600 for his role in this movie. When asked
to play in the next Tarzan movie, he said he couldn't because ``Two fellows
took an option on me for some spy picture, and are exercising it. But I'll
be in your next.'' The ``spy picture'' was "Dr. No (1962)" (qv).
- Producer 'Sy Weintraub' (qv) also wanted Anthony Quayle to come back for
another Tarzan movie, but Quayle had been offered a part in
"Lawrence of Arabia (1962)" (qv) after having been seen in this film, and
couldn't accept.
