That Spanish Blonde Captive is a stunner, thanks for the heads up to this thread, Hondo. FWIW, Columbia acquired the rights from Pizor's initial New York release for a 10 year run and then it reverted back to Pizor and his Capitol Film …(Quote)
Sweet Baby Xenu, that is amazing.
The two Jukes are ultra-sweet. You guys are making me very jealous. Were I still adding to the pile contracts would be issued to speed them my direction. Both were on my list for forever...
Wow, the things I'd do for that Peggy Cummins still. Be-yoo-tiful.
It's a pity Elviry, Mistress of the Dyrk never caught on. Before its time, I suppose...Great poster, rock. Pretty sure it'll be a big hit with the locals.FtToHNL is astonishing. The Fields is top notch as well. Simply stunning.--Peter(Quote)That is just superb. Never seen it before, wish I had.(Quote)I see Farley is using the same shade of lipstick as Bogart did on his Warner Bros posters. Still, I think it's better than the US simply because of the colo[u]rs. Nicely done!(Quote)
This is terrific!
Lawrence, I've been working off and on (mostly off) for several years towards a book on the ethnographic films of the '20s and '30s, although primarily on the production side, not their usually convoluted distribution patterns. Blonde Captive(Quote)
The last time I checked (which was some time ago) the Wikipedia article was rife with incorrect information that I frankly can't be assed to fix.
Capital Film Exchange started in the early '20s and Pizor and Gluckman worke…OK, here's the 'short' version:
Film was released by Pizor's Imperial in Feb. '32 as a roadshow playing in NYC and possibly a showing in Chicago as well. Full color one sheet and 3 sheet with Imperial logo are from this release.Here are the ca. 1932 addresses for Capitol/Capital Films. Both Pizor and Gluckman were associated with the Capitol Film Exchange since the early '20s but I suspect ol' Herman branched out on his own with Capital Films. Note that both are not at t…Again, you misunderstood what I said (must be the accent). I said specifically that both Imperial and Capito/al are mentioned in the pre-Columbia period, but that Imperial was the primary company used in connection with the film's publicity.
Actually, the entire extra 14 minutes is probably filler since the LT footage was already in. It would be fun to try and figure out what was padded some day.
In the literature both Capital (aka Capitol) and Imperial are referenced before…Ah, found it. According to the Sept. 17, 1932 Harrison's Report, 2 reels were added between the March 12 review (the Pizor version) and the Columbia release at the end of May '32. So this new footage which was probably just padding added by…Edit:
OK, it looks like the new footage was also a part of the Pizor screenings. Lowell Thomas recorded the narration in October '31, and the Explorers Club footage was in by November '31, per Film Daily.
Lawrence, you misunderstood what I was attempting to say. The nekkid blonde captive footage was in the film by December '30 and was added by King once he had control of the negatives, so it was always a part of it when the movie was seen by the pub…I believe I can add some insight into the release of Blonde Captive as I have done extensive research in preparation for an eventual article on it's production.
The "blonde captive" footage was shot by Ralph King by December of '30…
