TARZAN AND JANE / Banned swimming scene

The scene was banned by the Hayes commission in 1934 for indecency. It was not restored to the film until the 1990’s when Turner Classics bought the film rights. Maureen O’Sullivan, aka “Jane“, (Mia Farrow’s mother) was a good swimmer but not THAT good. She had a body double who, along with Weismuller, was an Olympic swimmer in her own right.
