Schoedsack Africa New York City giant ape fantasy romantic love triangle adventure horror thriller ("'The most awesome thriller of all time' the one and only"; "Not beast.. Not human.... Not devil.. But all three magnified! Raging.. Roaring.. Crushing.. Killing.."; "Strangest story ever conceived by man!"; "Out-leaping the maddest imaginings! Out-thrilling the wildest thrills!"; "See the living, fighting monsters of Creation's dawn rediscovered in the world today!"; "See the death-fight between giant ape and prehistoric dinosaur... the most amazing combat since the world began!"; "See the ape as big as a battleship wrecking New York!"; "Unique..!

Important Added Info: Note that for this 1942 re-release, RKO not only added a really cool "is loose!" below the title, but they also added great different artwork of Kong holding Fay Wray in the lower right corner (and of course, these cards are full-color, which is not always the case with re-releases). They are certainly far more rare than the original 1933 cards, likely because not nearly as many theaters played the movie in 1942, whereas in 1933, the movie was a massive success and played all over the world to great acclaim! Condition: good. There is paper tape on the back of the bottom border and also on the front of most of the bottom border (it looks like someone tried to remove some of it, and you can see the small writing through the tape in the right of the bottom border). There are pinholes, smudges, and surface paper loss in the other borders, with a 1/2" tear in the lower left border and a 1" tear near the middle of the right border. There are some horizontal creases near the center of the image. While this card has the above clear defects, it still displays pretty well just as it is, and it is also the type of card that will respond quite well to expert restoration, after which it will display wonderfully!
