Tarzan Triumphs is a 1943 adventure film in which Tarzan fights the Nazis. Johnny Weismuller had portrayed the popular Edgar Rice Burroughs character in six films with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, but this was his first with the less-prestigious RKO Pictures. Weismuller was reteamed with two of his three co-stars from several of the earlier films, Johnny Sheffield and Cheeta, but Maureen O'Sullivan was unable to reprise her role as Jane due to pregnancy.[1] Instead, Frances Gifford played the princess of the lost city of Pallandria, which is conquered by Germans.
