Re: [MOPO] NEED HELP IN IDENTIFYING A STILL

[PJ Angel]

Sue,

Based upon the still depicting a jungle scene, by process of elimination, we can scratch off Slightly Dangerous, Christmas in July, and Pittsburgh - not a jungle scene in the bunch. This leaves The Sea God (1930) with Fay Wray.

User Comments from IMDB for The Sea God (1930) has this review...

The Sea God is an early sound melodrama about two men vying for Fay Wray and wealth in the South Pacific. I bought this DVD in my unhealthy quest to see every Fay Wray film available, and I was pleasantly surprised that this was a fairly entertaining little film. Good locations, decent direction and photography (in spots), and a couple of twists made it well worth its short 75 minute running time. It's a bit creaky, and some of the acting doesn't hold up well, but overall not a bad effort. Fay looks great as the object of affection of the two men. There is even a scene where she is snatched from a boat by hostile dark skinned cannibals ala King Kong.

Sounds like a film that could have a diving suit, jungle scenes, arrows, and natives...

Hi Zeev

 

This is Sue from LearnAboutMoviePosters.com.  According to our research for the U.S. Movie Studio Production Code book and our website, (we have gathered approximately 22,000 different production code numbers so far), the number "1271" was used by at least 3 major studios.  Here is the information we have:

 

MGM - 1943 - Slightly Dangerous

Paramount - 1930 - Sea God (New York Series)

Paramount - 1940 - Christmas in July (L Series)

Universal - 1942 - Pittsburgh

 

I hope one of these matches your still.

 

Sue

Hi everybody,

 

I need your help in identifying a still.

 

It shows a jungle scene where a large number of natives are bowing to a man dressed in what looks like an old fashioned deep diving suit.  The man in the suit may have an arrow stuck in his chest?

The still has the number  1271-168

Anybody knows the title of this movie?

 

Is there already an available list cross referencing still numbers and movie titles?

 

I vaguely remember Bruce H once purchased such a list, but I'm not sure it was ever published.

 

Thank you,

 

Zeev
