An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 29 1/4" x 43 1/4" [74 x 110 cm]) (Learn More)

Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan's Desert Mystery, the 1943 Wilhelm Thiele Africa action adventure jungle thriller ("Mightiest of Tarzan thrillers!"; "See boy trapped in the web of the murderous giant spider!"; "See Tarzan's fierce death battle with prehistoric monsters!"; "See Tarzan, and his friends flee the treacherous deadly sandstorm!"; "See Tarzan in the grip of the strange man-eating plant!"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs"; "From a story by Carroll Young") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Nancy Kelly, Johnny Sheffield (as Boy), Otto Kruger, Joe Sawyer, Lloyd Corrigan, Robert Lowery, Frank Puglia, Phil Van Zandt and Cheetah (the chimpanzee). Note that this was the second RKO Tarzan, and once again, Maureen O'Sullivan could not be hired, because she was an MGM contract player, and RKO did not want to cast a "new" Jane, so they once again explained her absence by saying that she was away, working as a nurse for the British troops in World War II!

Important Added Info:

UPDATED 11/21/2014: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this poster is from a 1950s re-release and NOT the 1943 first release as we initially listed. We have updated the auction accordingly.
