Auction History Result 2h057 CANNIBAL ATTACK linen 1sh 1954 Cravath art of Johnny Weissmuller w/knife, fighting alligators! Date Sold 12/9/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Cannibal Attack, the 1954 Lee Sholem Africa jungle adventure thriller ("Torn from the blackest pages in the history of the dark continent!"; "An amazing thrill-adventure among human man-eaters!") starring Johnny Weissmuller, Judy Walsh, David Bruce, Kimba (the chimp!), Bruce Cowling, and Joseph Allen. 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 Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had darkened, and it had minor wear on the folds. It had some paper loss scattered in the left, right, and bottom borders, with a few tears. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
