Thanks to all who answered. Sue, you gave a very thorough answer, and I look forward to your book, or LAMP section on Movie Studio Production Code, whichever comes first.
Like my friend PJ, I tend to agree that by process of elimination, the still I have is most likely from 1930 The Sea God. The scene does look like the man in the deep diving suit, complete with the "helmet", is looked upon like a god by the natives, who fell to the ground in worship.

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.

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.
