An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Unknown Island, the 1948 Jack Bernhard science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy dinosaur adventure ("Spectacular! Living monsters of pre-history Alive before your eyes - In a hidden island in the Pacific!"; "Prehistoric Monsters of an unknown world invade the world of today!"; "So spectacular - It took one year to produce! See: Pre-historic denizens that defy the imagination! See: King tyrant lizards in deadly combat! See: Man's puny attempt to defeat monstrous beasts!"; "It's out of this world - Alive on a forbidden continent 60,000,000 years ago! Wonders never before beheld by man!"; "Colossal! A new world of adventures from a world of 60,000,000 years ago!"; "Alive--strange--stirring!") starring Virginia Grey, Philip Reed, Barton MacLane, Richard Denning, Richard Wessell, Daniel White, Phillip Nazir, and and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the man in the really fake ape suit!). Note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! Also note that the movie was released by Film Classics, and that this company was the original releasing studio for this low budget fantasy sci-fi movie (they also distributed re-releases of better known titles, but they did do the first release of some low budget movies of the 1940s). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the film distributor "Film Classics" primarily distributed re-releases of major studios in the late 1940s and 1950s, but they DID produce a few of their own movies, including this one. This is the first release of this movie, and it NOT a re-release! Also note that, oddly, there were two versions of this one-sheet, one with more color, and one in black and white, and the black and white one is more rare, but we have no idea why two versions were made. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair to good. The poster is lightly rippled. There are several significant tears around the edges and along portions of the vertical foldline. Many of the tears or other defects as described above have been repaired with several pieces of tape from the back. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
