Auction History Result 9d088 DEVIL GODDESS linen Aust daybill '55 Johnny Weissmuller is NOT Jungle Jim, cool stone litho! Date Sold 6/2/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 30 1/4" [34 x 77 cm]) (Learn More) Devil Goddess, the 1955 Spencer Gordon Bennet (billed as "Spencer G. Bennet") jungle fantasy island horror thriller ("Volcano of excitement... In the land of the fire-demons!"; "Battling the hordes of the fire-priestess!"; "Thundering with jungle adventure... throbbing with jungle thrills!") starring Johnny Weissmuller (as himself!), Angela Stevens, Kimba (the chimpanzee), Selmer Jackson, William Tannen, Ed Hinton, and Vera Francis (in the title role as Sarabina, the Devil Goddess, although she is not billed on the posters). 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had minor wear on the foldlines and a small tear and a tiny stain in the bottom blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
