From Tony Rivers' collection comes this pressbook for Tarzan, the Ape Man (played by a light-haired Denny Miller and filled with stock footage from earlier Tarzan movies). Here's what Tony says: "Denny Miller's TARZAN THE APE MAN was considered the worst Tarzan movie until the Bo Derek version came out. It was cheaply done, even using some footage from the Weissmuller original and tinting it in color, and there is a scene where Tarzan fights an animal that you can easily see it's a stuffed animal! Miller was the first blonde Tarzan and although he had fun making the film, it's not that good. They even used the crocodile fight from TARZAN AND HIS MATE! Joanna Barnes plays Jane and it pretty much follows the same plot of the Weissmuller film."
