An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Jungle Moon Men, the 1955 Charles S. Gould science fiction (sci-fi) adventure thriller ("Battling the poison dart men!"; "Jungle Jim to the rescue!"; "Strange jungle adventure") starring Johnny Weissmuller (as himself!), Jean Byron, Helene Stanton, Bill Henry, and Kimba (the chimp). Note that this movie borrows heavily from the H. Rider Haggard classic, "She", with an immortal high priestess! Also note that this movie was one of three movies Johnny Weissmuller made after his long-running series of "Jungle Jim" movies (this was in fact, Weissmuller's very final movie!). In those three movies, which resembled "Jungle Jim" movies in every way, Weissmuller is not called "Jungle Jim", but is billed as himself! The rights for the Jungle Jim character had been sold to Screen Gems which was going to make a TV series (starring Weissmuller) but producer Sam Katzman still had three stories pending with the Jungle Jim character. Rather than shelving the projects, he simply changed the character's name to Johnny Weissmuller. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Glenn Cravath Important Added Info: Condition: good. There are some tiny stains down the poster at right including some in Kimba's image at lower right. There is a v-shaped tear at upper center and there is some tattering along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster with some repaired with tape from the back. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
