#FilmHistory On this day, 1968, the Stanley Kubrick classic 2001: A Space Odyssey was released. From its groundbreaking visual effects to its minimalist storytelling & themes of evolution, AI, and humanity’s place in the universe, the film set a new standard that still influences filmmakers today.
#FilmHistory On this day, 1968, the American sci-fi film Planet Of The Apes, directed by Franklin J. Schaffner (from a screenplay by Michael Wilson & Rod Serling), was released. The movie is based on the 1963 novel by Pierre Boulle (who also wrote the 1952 book, The Bridge on the River Kwai).

“Escapes” was a film built on compromise, as it was essentially created under pressure from the newly reinvigorated and enforced Hollywood Production Code. Initially conceived and shot as “The Capture of Tarzan,” test screenings of this early production drew criticism for seemingly excessive violence and horror elements, including a scene with large man-eating bats! This early treatment was scrapped, and production restarted with the story largely changed with more compliance to the pleasure of censorship. Most clearly among these changes was Jane’s new singlet burlap dress, her two piece from “Tarzan and His Mate” likely having been deemed too risqué.
It’s #TarzanThursday!
Today’s subjects: Maureen O’Sullivan and Johnny Weissmuller in “Tarzan Escapes,” their third outing in the MGM jungle series.
