Tarzan and the Slave Girl, the 1950 Lee Sholem Africa romantic jungle action adventure thriller ("The One and Only Tarzan in his most Thrilling Adventure!"; "The one and only Tarzan defies death to free captive beauties!"; "Thrills by the score in this Mightiest of Tarzan adventures... when marauding henchmen of an evil jungle prince kidnap lively maidens for his harem!"; "See Jane and the slave girl entombed alive! See poison-killing Wadis who look like the trees! See the frenzied fury of the death dance! See the fight for life at the pit of lions! See wicked pagan pleasures in a dazzling forest palace! See Tarzan's elephant friends destroy a granite building!"; "Based on the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Lex Barker (in the title role as Tarzan), Vanessa Brown (as Jane), Robert Alda, Denise Darcel (in the title role as the half-breed "slave girl"), Arthur Shields, Hurd Hatfield, and Anthony Caruso. Note that you might not recognize the name of "Vanessa Brown", who was intended to be in a series of Tarzan movies after this one, but who left the series after this, likely because she got married to a Hollywood plastic surgeon. She was born in Austria as "Smylla Brind", and she appeared on stage and in movies in the 1940s as "Vanessa Brind". After she married, she became a panelist on TV quiz shows, but she did some more stage and film work, but she divorced and remarried, and had two children, which kept her from a full time movie career (in 1956, she became very active in politics, serving as a delegate to the Democratic Convention).

Important Added Info: Note that these are "studio-issued" negatives. What are they? They were produced by the studio but are not the camera originals. They are very high quality and were created in quantity by the studios and sent to media outlets or other places that had need of the very highest quality image for reproduction purposes (in newspapers, magazines, or elsewhere). Note that because this is a large set, we only scanned four of the negatives (see our images of those). In addition, we photographed all of them in a light box, which gives you a good sense of their images, but of course only shows you a negative image of the other eight (and there are 16 images in all because 12 are photographed and 4 of the 12 are also scanned). The negatives do not have plastic sleeves, but it would certainly be easy to acquire some.

UPDATED 11/12/2018: Note that most bidders likely realized this, but these negatives are from the first release of the 1950 film Tarzan and the Slave Girl, and not Tarzan and His Mate as we originally mentioned.

This is a very special auction of 710 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes, plus lots of sets of 35mm slides. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size.

Also note that this auction is for one or more negatives, and every one of the 185 auctions of negatives we are currently running have been scanned expertly. This auction contains the scan(s) of the negatives in this auction, and they have been scanned so that you see a "positive" image (and we have added an "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it), but the auction is for the actual negative. The winner of this auction and ONLY the winner of this auction will, upon request, be sent the UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the negative(s) in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make positive prints of the items they purchased, if they desire.
