An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Leopard Man, the 1943 Jacques Tourneur wild-animal-on-the-loose murder mystery crime thriller ("Women alone the victims of strange, savage killer!"; "You'll gasp with amazement!"; "Thrill-Killer of Women and Girls!"; "You'll be astounded to learn that such things can happen!"; "Death striking from the dark with ripping fury!...Was it man or beast that tore to shreds victim after victim - striking only at defenseless beauty? ...Know the truth about these murders-for-a-thrill!"; "Produced by Val Lewton"; based on the novel 'Black Alibi' by Cornell Woolrich; as in "Cat People", Lewton and Tourneur did not have money for much make-up or special effects, so the posters for this movie promise much more than the film actually delivered in terms of a monster, but the movie works quite well on its own terms!) starring Dennis O'Keefe, Margo, Jean Brooks, Isabel Jewell, James Bell, Ben Bard, Abner Biberman, and Margaret Landry. A knowledgeable collector tells us that this may be the first film to use the desert of the American Southwest as a setting for a horror film. 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 while we have previously auctioned five examples of this first release one-sheet (the last one sold for $3,000), we have only auctioned one unrestored example, and that was 27 years ago! Condition: good. The poster has small tears, creases, and some tiny paper loss in the vertical fold, with more paper loss at the bottom crossfold. It has some creases on the horizontal folds and 2" of separation at the left and right ends of the bottom fold, with pinholes around the edges. It has a small piece of tape on the back of each crossfold and a piece of tape on the back of the bottom center. After a relatively simple linenbacking, the poster will display really well!
