Date Sold 4/17/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1948) Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 13 3/4" x 19" [35 x 48 cm]) (Learn More) King of the Jungle, the 1933 H. Bruce Humberstone & Max Marcin African safari action adventure melodrama ("The Serialplay Extraordinary") starring Buster Crabbe (billed as "The Lion Man"), Frances Dee, Sidney Toler, Nydia Westman, Robert Barrat, and Irving Pichel. Note that Buster Crabbe had been strongly considered for the role of Tarzan in 1932's "Tarzan the Ape Man", but Johnny Weissmuller was chosen over him, and when Paramount looked to make a copycat Tarzan movie the following year, they naturally turned to Buster Crabbe for the part of "Kaspa the Lion Man" (unlike Tarzan, who was a child raised in the jungle by apes, Kaspa was a child raised in the jungle by lions, a distinction that surely did not amuse either Edgar Rice Burroughs or MGM!).

Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 13 3/4" x 19" [35 x 48 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had many folds, both vertical and horizontal. It had some wear on the folds and small tears in the borders. Someone mounted it to linen, and after it was mounted, it acquired small stains scattered throughout the poster and in the excess linen. Obviously, the poster needs to be re-restored, and bear this in mind before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
