During the making of the film, Miles and Scott began a romance and married in 1956, after the release of the film. Proving to be a successful and popular Tarzan, Scott helped breathe new life into the series. For his second outing, Scott made the first color Tarzan film, Tarzan and the Lost Safari, released in 1957 by MGM. In 1958, Sol Lesser sold Scott's contract to Sy Weintraub; the new producer took his star to Paramount Pictures and, fueled by bigger production budgets, made two of the most successful Tarzan films, Tarzan's Greatest Adventure (1959) and Tarzan the Magnificent (1960).
