An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More) Cannibal Attack, the 1954 Lee Sholem Africa jungle adventure thriller ("Torn from the blackest pages in the history of the dark continent!"; "An amazing thrill-adventure among human man-eaters!") starring Johnny Weissmuller, Judy Walsh, David Bruce, Kimba (the chimp!), Bruce Cowling, and Joseph Allen. 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.
