The title was changed to MAN AND HIS MATE. Ahh. So Man and his Mate is the British title. I guess the others (Tumak, Cave Man) are probably foreign titles as well. The Catch of the Day!

Chicago World's Fair by Messmore & Damon I've got an original poster from that Fair ~~ I care! (It's 1933). It's got a big mechanical monkey on it (I think Don may have the monkey). Great detective work, Don & Ted! I tend to agree with the findings. Let the buyer beware.

So that explains what scientists have wondered about for years: the innards of a Tyrannosaurus are the same as a Giant Sloth.

(in the prologue) I'll see if I can dig it up. I had a theory at the time that Carol was even more dreamy in that silly costume than as a cave girl. Last Edited By: Babetician Aug 21 11 5:16 PM.

Aug 21 11 8:32 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	It does look like a big to-do, and I wonder if maybe Vic is/was in that sporty little car parked in front of the theatre. To be clear though, while those photos are of the Louisville premiere, I don't know that it was the world premiere. The captions where I found the photos were not clear on the subject.
