FRANK BUCK's "WILD CARGO" 1935 ART DECO MOVIE HERALD

Description

Original Herald from Uruguay and Argentina in South America. This kind of gorgeous heralds are quite scarce, they were printed by a local distributor (Max Glücksmann) just during a short period of time between the late 1920's and the late 1930's. Usually printed on both sides, in full color or in duotone inks featuring Art Deco style, they show great graphics from the films advertised. Most advertise a single feature movie, while a few examples advertise double movie programs.

Comments:
Wild Cargo is a 1934 jungle adventure documentary starring Frank Buck. Buck depicts the ingenious methods by which he traps wild birds, mammals and reptiles. Many scenes were photographed on the vast Malayan estates of Buck's friend, Sultan Ibrahim of Johor, who appears in person in the film.
Among the scenes in the film are: a python's escape from its box; Buck recaptures the giant snake; a fight to the death between a black panther and a python in which the python comes off victorious; Buck traps a man-eating tiger; a python crawls in between the bars of a pig pen and swallows the pig; the snake has imprisoned itself, for with the pig inside it, it could not extricate itself from the pen; a python attacks Buck in the jungle, and Buck must shoot the huge snake to save his own life; a king cobra escapes from its box and attacks Buck.
Cameraman Leroy G. Phelps was nearly crippled by an infection he acquired after scratching himself on a poisonous renghus plant. Buck and Phelps were almost trampled by a herd of stampeding water buffalo; they were spared only when the animals changed direction at the last moment.
