Interesting facts

Kimberley Jim is a 1963 South African musical comedy film directed by Emil Nofal and starring American singer Jim Reeves.

Production

Most exteriors were filmed in the area of the small town of Brits while interiors were shot at the Jamie Uys studios in the Northcliff suburb of Johannesburg. Reeves later said that he enjoyed the film-making experience and would consider devoting more of his career to this medium. The film was released in September 1965, fourteen months after Reeves's death in an airplane crash.
