Maureen O’Sullivan as Jane in “Tarzan and His Mate”
“Tarzan and His Mate” has achieved cult status, largely due to the unforgettable costume worn by Maureen O’Sullivan. This outfit, which consisted of a halter-top and loincloth, was quite revealing for its time, exposing Jane’s thighs and hips.
The provocative nature of the costume was amplified by the fact that Jane was intended to portray a refined woman from England. Nevertheless, the decision to dress her in such a way was intended to symbolize her embracing of liberation.
