206 Tarzan's Peril (1951)
- First Tarzan film to be shot in Africa, where it was set.
- The company arrived in Africa just before winter set in. The chimps
wouldn't perform, so Cheetah's part had to be cut. the area around
Mount Kenya was so cloudy that 'Lex Barker' (qv)'s tan disappeared and he

remaining footage winding up in later pictures.
