A 1942 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) King Kong, the classic 1933 Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B. 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..!

Cooper"; based on the story by Edgar Wallace, with incredible special effects by Willis O'Brien) starring Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong (as Carl Denham), Bruce Cabot, Frank Reicher, and Sam Hardy NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this great 1942 re-release scene card, and that was 8 years ago, when it sold for $725 (and that one was paperbacked, and this one is not)! Also note that we are currently auctioning a different 1942 re-release scene card from King Kong in a separate auction. 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! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. The card has faint smudges and tiny dot stains around the edges. It has two diagonal creases in the bottom left corner, with a 1" vertical tear, and someone put a small piece of tape on the back of that. It has a very faint partial horizontal crease in the upper left, extending from the left blank border into Kong's shoulder. The card displays well in spite of the above very minor defects, and it has had no other restoration beyond the one small piece of tape. Learn More about condition grades
