Auction History Result 7d723 VIRGINS OF BALI 5 8x10 stills 1932 wacky documentary, images of many topless natives! Date Sold 6/17/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Virgins of Bali, the 1932 Deane H. Dickason Indonesia marriage rituals jungle documentary ("All-native cast") featuring Ni Wayan Tagel, Ni Wayan Grio, Ni Wayan Ugembon, T. Kaler, and I. Maria. This documentary followed two sisters, one 12 and one 16, and the 16 year-old is about to be married (as was the custom in Bali at that time), and the movie shows the intricate rituals that the families go through prior to the wedding (and no doubt the film's grosses were greatly increased by the fact that the sisters and many other women in the movies appeared topless!). Note that we have now seen lobby cards that are full-color and on a "heavy" paper consistent with that of 1930s lobby cards, but there are ones that are from Imperial Distributing, and others that are from Principal Adventures, and the Imperial ones have "COUNTRY OF ORIGIN U.S.A." in the bottom blank border, while the Principal ones have "MADE IN U.S.A." within the bottom edge of the image! We know that the movie was distributed through the "states rights" system, meaning that different distributors bought the rights to distribute it in different states. Therefore, we think it is extremely likely that the cards from both distributors are both from the first release in 1932, and we identify them as such. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
