Auction History Result 4x0218 DEVIL GODDESS linen 1sh 1955 Johnny Weissmuller is NOT Jungle Jim, Glenn Cravath art! Date Sold 8/6/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 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. Artist: Glenn Cravath Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and pretty minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it acquired stains in the top left and bottom left corners, and also the upper left border, affecting the borders of the poster and the excess linen.
