Date Sold 7/17/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage French Movie Souvenir Program Book (measures 5 1/2" x 7 1/4" [14 x 18 cm]; 14 pages) (Learn More) The Lost World, the classic 1925 Harry O. Hoyt silent fantasy dinosaur adventure thriller ("The World's Wonder Film"; "The greatest drama of adventure and romance your eyes ever have beheld."; "See gigantic pre-historic monsters clash with modern lovers in The Lost World"; "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stupendous story"; "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stupendous story"; with great special effects by Willis H. O'Brien who is billed as "Research and Technical Director") starring Bessie Love, Lewis Stone, Wallace Beery (as Professor George Edward Challenger, the protagonist from a series of Doyle stories), Lloyd Hughes, Alma Bennett, and Bull Montana (as the Ape-man). Note that when the producer/director team of Ernest B. Schoedsack and Merian C. Cooper (who had made several acclaimed documentaries in remote areas of the world) were looking to make a fantasy movie set on a mythical island with a giant gorilla, they remembered the special effects from "The Lost World", and hired Willis O'Brien to do the special effects for their new movie, "King Kong"! "The Lost World" was O'Brien's first feature film, and he used the exact same stop-motion techniques of special effects that made "King Kong" so memorable. Note that the one-sheet poster for "The Lost World" shows an image of Wallace Beery pointing at a map of Africa, and there are NO special effects pictured on the poster. But the window card has a wonderful image of a dinosaur trampling on the residents of a city, and is THE poster to own from this movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
