The Cameraman / Tarzan and His Mate
Screening on Film
Tonight we bring two short gems from the Somerville High School film collection to the big screen. When we watched Monkey Tale, we knew we had to share this bicycle safety film with our friends out there in the dark. Next up, monkeys do grammar in Monkey See, Monkey Do: Verbs. In The Cameraman, a monkey effects the vast world of monkey cinema, even as he yields the spotlight to his more famous, human pal Buster Keaton. Another human friend of the monkey, Tarzan (Weissmuller), appears with his sexy gal pal Jane and everyone’s favorite chimp pal, Cheetah, in Tarzan and His Mate, arguably the best of the Weismuller-era Tarzan films.
