Auction History Result 5g463 DEVIL GODDESS Aust daybill '55 Johnny Weissmuller is NOT Jungle Jim, montage stone litho! Date Sold 10/6/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 30") (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.
