One of the most infamous (though lost) examples is often referred to by collectors as Tarzan and the Silver Screen Siren (c. 1958). The "plot" allegedly involved a film crew lost in the jungle, where the actress playing Jane finds the "real" Tarzan. The meta-commentary is accidental genius: the line between performative eroticism and "authentic" primal desire blurs. Another legendary loop, simply called Jungle Heat , featured no dialogue, only a frantic jazz score and the sounds of drums. The "Tarzan" figure in these films never spoke proper English; he grunted, pointed, and dominated. This was not Burroughs’s literate noble savage; this was a id-monster from the id.
