in Australian

I am over a period of time going to post daybill images all with problems of some sort or another. Thought I would start with two easy ones first up. You are welcome to start the ball rolling with the answers.

    Good Ves. For the other one we have to think outdide the box. The answer isn't very obvious.

    Matt, you're spoiling the movie plot!  That could be integral to the film! ;)

    More drunken Aussie printer shenanigans!

    The A Life At Stake different printing of ? was a mistake that should have been picked up before it was printed.

    Good work Ves

    By 1948 the Australian Not Suitable For General Exhibition censorship rating had changed to Not Suitable For Children.It is interesting a film released in Australia in 1956 has a defunct 8 year old censorship rating on it.  Someone asleep at the wheel it seems.

    Stay tuned as I have some interesting images still to come.

    This is another thing we need a thread on if we don't already.  Dates for the rating changes...

    Or Hondo could just save us all a heap of time and headache and publish all his hard research!

  • HONDOHONDO

    I would love to but time doesn't permit. I have around a hundred threads I would love to post for starters and hopefully I will work my way through them over time. You are great but what hinders me at times is a lack of response from members.

    I can't speak for everyone, but I am pretty sure it is not from lack of interest, but rather lack of knowledge...there is definitely a lot I don't know!

    So post away, as is evidenced from today's strong back and forth, when we have an opinion, we will definitely chime in!

  • HONDOHONDO

    Yes I will post on regardless because I love doing it too much  to stop now.

    Like Ves says, we are but humble daybillers, if we don't post it's not from the lack of interest but likely the lack of being able to add anything constructive.

    All the same blank stock posters of Jungle Jim with three individual titles printed on them . When do you think they were printed and what is wrong with them?

    Columbia logo is different. They are clearly stock posters released some years after the original release but it would be good to know exactly when they were issued?

    I will provide more details shortly but before I do this I would love to hear from anyone who can provide information on when the 16 Jungle Jim theatrical films ( not the television series that followed ) were first screened on Australian television?  Failing this the first release year on American television.  David you are good at this sort of fact finding.

    Jungle Jim is a black and white 1948 Adventure film directed by William Berke and written by Carroll Young, was based on Alex Raymond's Jungle Jim comic strip and distributed by Columbia Pictures. This was the first picture in the "Jungle Jim" series that consisted of sixteen films spanning a period from 1948 to 1955.

    Jungle Jim feature films (US theatrical release dates) [AUS theatrical release date]:

    Jungle Jim (1948) [1950]
    The Lost Tribe (1949) [1949]
    Mark of the Gorilla (1950) [1950]
    Captive Girl (1950) [1950]
    Jungle Jim in Pygmy Island (1950) [1951]
    Fury of the Congo (1951) [1951]
    Jungle Manhunt (1951) [1952]
    Jungle Jim in the Forbidden Land (1952) [1952]
    Voodoo Tiger (1952) [1952]
    Savage Mutiny (1953) [1953]
    Valley of the Headhunters (1953) [1953]
    Killer Ape (1953) [1954]
    Jungle Man-Eaters (1954) [1954]
    Cannibal Attack (1954) [1955]
    Jungle Moon Men (1955) [1956]
    Devil Goddess (1956) [1956]

    Near as I can figure they hit the small screen in the 80s?
  • JohnJohn
    The TV Series was very popular back in the late 50s and early 60s. I remember watching the shows after school. I am guessing that the reissues were released to coincide with the popularity of the TV shows and probably screened as full length movies like many others of similar genres.

    Between  David. John & myself we don't know when the Jungle Jim features were first released on television in Australia. Never mind but John's comment on the release to television to coincide with the popularity of the television series is good thinking but more on that thought later.

    Hondo


    While you ponder my original question  ''what is wrong with them'' from my latest clues i would like  to say when I believe the three duotone daybill posters were printed.I have found some newspaper classifieds that show Valley Of The Headhunters was screened in 1967. Also screened in 1967 was another Jungle Jim film titled Savage Mutiny. Somewhere there is bound to be a duotone stock daybill being the exact same style apart from the individual information  printed on the poster. If there are any more stock duotone Jungle Jim posters of other titles, and there may be, please post images on this thread.It appears in 1967 an unknown amount of Jungle Jim titles were re-released and the same stock poster was used for all of them. We have three examples and most likely another one exists for Savage Mutiny.

    The Columbia logo is the one that was being used in 1967 and this logo was only used starting in the later part of the 1960's.

    Something that has just struck me and I have just checked other images on the net and all of them it appears were printed without the censorship ratings on them.

    All three have exactly the same credits on the posters. Jungle Manhunt has the correct cast & other credits and the other two are incorrect. I believe the three posters were printed around 1967.
