About the Item

An extremely rare Columbia Studios motion picture reel case with three reels of 35mm movie "Tarzana", circa 1969. The case was manufactured by Goldberg Brothers in Denver, CO and measures 17"W x 7"D x 16"H. #3368 This authentic shipping case was owned and used by Columbia Studios for shipping movie reels. It is in well worn condition with all the bumps, bruises and dents you would expect from cross country shipping and 60+ years of studio use. Patina has been preserved and waxed in to look smooth, textural and totally original. The case opens and has a built in locking mechanism. Perfect for display in home or office! Tarzana, the Wild Girl is a 1969 Italian adventure film written and directed by Guido Malatesta (using the pseudonym James Reed). Plot When reports arrive in Europe that a Kenyan tribe has elected a white woman as their queen, Tarzana (meaning 'strange woman' in Bantu), Sir Donovan is certain that the woman is his long-lost granddaughter Elizabeth, who was thought to have died along with her parents following a plane crash in the African jungle. Wanting his granddaughter to inherit his assets, Sir Donovan recruits a hunter named Glen Shipper (and his romantic interest Doris) to journey into Africa to seek out Tarzana and return Elizabeth to civilization. This particularly places Tarzana in the danger of her own cousin Groder, who has accompanied Glen and Doris on their quest in the hopes of exterminating Elizabeth in order to become Sir Donovan's next heir. Cast Femi Benussi as Tarzana / Elizabeth Ken Clark as Glen Shipper Franca Polesello as Doris Beryl Cunningham as Kamala Franco Ressel as Groder Raf Baldassarre as Fred Andrea Aureli I have no idea the condition of the film and whether or not it is playable. It looks to be complete and it does have a somewhat vinegar odor to it. Very unique and rare piece of cinema history!
