An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Topa Topa (also released in 1939 as "Children of the Wild" and in 1940 as "Killers of the Wild" [see below for more info]), the 1938 Vin Moore & Charles Hutchison (he starred in a series of silent serials where he always played the character "Hurricane Hutch") canine dog eagle adventure melodrama starring Goldie (as Goldie, the eagle), Silver Wolf (as Fangs the dog), Joan Valerie, James Bush, LeRoy Mason, and Jill L'Estrange. Note that this movie has a confusing history which is exacerbated by the financial problems of Grand National Pictures. It was apparently produced in 1938 and had a Los Angeles premier under the title "Topa Topa". It was reviewed by several magazines which had conflicting information about the studio, date and even the length of the film. A different edit was apparently released in 1939 under the title "Children of the Wild" and another edit was released in 1940 under the title of "Killers of the Wild". The movie concerns a German Shepherd who is framed for murder by a trapper, and is sentenced to death. Before that can happen, an eagle snatches a child and flies off with it, and the dog saves the child. A naturalist then proves the dog is innocent and the evil trapper is killed in self-defense (by the dog)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
