Date Sold 8/6/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More) Jungle Moon Men, the 1955 Charles S. Gould science fiction (sci-fi) adventure thriller ("Battling the poison dart men!"; "Jungle Jim to the rescue!"; "Strange jungle adventure") starring Johnny Weissmuller (as himself!), Jean Byron, Helene Stanton, Bill Henry, and Kimba (the chimp). Note that this movie borrows heavily from the H. Rider Haggard classic, "She", with an immortal high priestess! Also note that this movie was one of three movies Johnny Weissmuller made after his long-running series of "Jungle Jim" movies (this was in fact, Weissmuller's very final movie!). In those three movies, which resembled "Jungle Jim" movies in every way, Weissmuller is not called "Jungle Jim", but is billed as himself! The rights for the Jungle Jim character had been sold to Screen Gems which was going to make a TV series (starring Weissmuller) but producer Sam Katzman still had three stories pending with the Jungle Jim character. Rather than shelving the projects, he simply changed the character's name to Johnny Weissmuller. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
