Date Sold 3/12/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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. Condition: good to very good.
