From what I was able to find, yes Gary this rare bowling picture was taken in Johannesburg, South Africa during the filming of "Kimberley Jim'. The movie was shot in March and April, 1963.

One interesting comment on the picture states that Jim shows lines of concentration on his face, while throwing a ball in a Johannesburg 10-pin alley. Although a poor quality picture, it's the only one known to be published.

By the way, I can't find this pic either on the Forum, but I'm sure Mike posted it
a while back. It can be found with a cursor search on the internet however. Hope this helps Gary.
