An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 3/4" x 21 1/2" [37 x 55 cm]) (Learn More) Eat 'Em Alive, the 1933 Harold Austin desert animal nature documentary (featuring life and death struggles between animals that was mainly shot in Texas, Nevada and Arizona) narrated by and featuring Harold Austin. Note that this completely forgotten movie was many decades ahead of its time! It shows (through actual footage) how many animals that live in the American desert are forced to eat other animals to survive, and also to dodge other predators that want to eat them. It has a framing device of an explorer (played by director Harold Austin), who travels through the desert with a camera filming these events, and at different times, he encounters an old prospector and a Native American Indian. The explorer says that animals are not as cruel as men, because they only kill for food, while men kill them for sport. Sometimes the explorer intervenes and helps one animal survive the attack of another. At the end of the movie, the explorer stops at a way station on the fringe of the desert, and a rattlesnake is seen about to attack a baby in an outdoor play pen, but the way station's pit bull dog is chained nearby, and the dog manages to break free and kill the snake, right in front of the baby! This feature film is completely forgotten today, and until we were consigned a title card from it in 2016, we had never even heard of the movie, or seen any movie paper from it! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
