Sy Weintraub (May 28, 1923 – April 4, 2000) was a movie and television producer best known for his series of Tarzan films and television episodes between 1959 and 1968.
Weintraub broke with the Johnny Weissmuller formula of portraying Tarzan as a pidgin-speaking noble savage who lives in a treehouse with Jane and Boy.
Instead, his Tarzan was an educated loner, much closer to Edgar Rice Burroughs's original conception of the character and Boy is replaced by a young orphan named Jai.
Weintraub also produced two Sherlock Holmes films for television and was an owner of Panavision.
