An Original 1963 Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Kingu Kongu tai Gojira (released in the U.S. in 1963 as "King Kong vs. Godzilla"), the 1962 Ishiro Honda Toho Japanese kaiju battling rubbery monsters science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("The two mightiest monsters of all time! ...in the most colossal conflict the screen has ever known!"; "All New!"; "Mighty King Kong! Might Godzilla! Now an all mighty all-new motion picture brings them together for the first time in the colossal clash of all time!"; "All New!"; "See! King Kong hurl an entire train to destruction! Godzilla's radioactive flame burn out entire cities! King Kong gouge out a mountainside! Godzilla snatch jets from the skies and smash them to earth!") starring Godzilla, King Kong, Tadao Takashima, Kenji Sahara, Yu Fujiki, and Ichiro Arishima (the English version also stars Michael Keith, Harry Holcombe, James Yagi, Byron Morrow, and Les Tremayne). Note that when I saw this movie in 1963 as a young boy, I was dazzled by the incredible "special effects", but I watched it again recently with my children, and I was amazed at just how feeble the special effects were! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. It had a fine red mark in the right of the bottom border extending into the yellow background. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame. It appears that someone hung the poster with a clip in the top center, and that caused a crease in the center of the top blank border. Learn More about condition grades
