Tarzan and the Slave Girl, the 1950 Lee Sholem Africa romantic jungle action adventure thriller ("The One and Only Tarzan in his most Thrilling Adventure!"; "The one and only Tarzan defies death to free captive beauties!"; "Thrills by the score in this Mightiest of Tarzan adventures... when marauding henchmen of an evil jungle prince kidnap lively maidens for his harem!"; "See Jane and the slave girl entombed alive! See poison-killing Wadis who look like the trees! See the frenzied fury of the death dance! See the fight for life at the pit of lions! See wicked pagan pleasures in a dazzling forest palace! See Tarzan's elephant friends destroy a granite building!"; "Based on the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Lex Barker (in the title role as Tarzan), Vanessa Brown (as Jane), Robert Alda, Denise Darcel (in the title role as the half-breed "slave girl"), Arthur Shields, Hurd Hatfield, and Anthony Caruso. Note that you might not recognize the name of "Vanessa Brown", who was intended to be in a series of Tarzan movies after this one, but who left the series after this, likely because she got married to a Hollywood plastic surgeon. She was born in Austria as "Smylla Brind", and she appeared on stage and in movies in the 1940s as "Vanessa Brind". After she married, she became a panelist on TV quiz shows, but she did some more stage and film work, but she divorced and remarried, and had two children, which kept her from a full time movie career (in 1956, she became very active in politics, serving as a delegate to the Democratic Convention).

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has something VERY UNUSUAL about it. What is that? The person who owned it had a home movie theater, and they had a large collection of one-sheets, and they would display them when they showed the movie, and they needed a way to protect the posters while they were being handled, and keep them from being damaged while on display. He came up with a solution that we have not seen before. He had a thin sheet of laminate plastic placed over the BACK of each one-sheet, BUT NOT ON THE FRONT (as is normally done when laminating the poster). If you have ever seen "laminated" posters, they are often covered with very thick plastic material on both sides. THE LAMINATE PLASTIC USED HERE IS A THIN MATERIAL. While we have never seen this before, it actually works well! The front of the poster is no different then it was, but the plastic on the back greatly helps protect the poster from tears or other defects (this is the same principle that was used decades ago when they would kraftback posters moving from theater to theater, and as with kraftbacking, the posters with this laminate plastic on the back CAN be folded as normal, as this poster was). WE DON'T KNOW HOW EASY OR HARD IT WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC FROM THE BACK (although there are a few where the plastic is separating, indicating it surely CAN be done), but the buyer of this poster will have two options. They can either keep the poster exactly as is, and if they display it, no one will even know about the plastic laminate on the back, or they can have a restorer remove it. Either way, DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT HAS THIS ON THE BACK (but NOT on the front).
