Jim Reeves was a man with a unique voice. His easy dulcet tones brought him everlasting fame and millions of fans, until he was tragically snatched from this life in a plane crash in August 1964.

Kimberly Jim was his first and only feature film, a musical comedy in which he plays the legendary American guitar strumming gambler Jim Madison who ventures to Africa in 1910 to seek his fortune amongst the diamond mines.

All the ingredients of a roaring good plot are in place complete with the greedy hotel owner who is blocking the local water supply, the saloon nights of fast women and hard liquor, and a spectacular prize fight which holds no punches.

Gentleman Jim croons his way through nineteen original songs to give the film its final magic and the recipe for it's success with which it broke all existing South African box office records.
