An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Tarzan and His Mate, the 1934 Cedric Gibbons, James C. McKay, & Jack Conway romantic action jungle adventure fantasy thriller ("Johnny Weissmuller is back again!"; "It's new!"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), Neil Hamilton, Paul Cavanagh (billed as "Paul Cavanaugh"), Forrester Harvey, and Ray Corrigan (as an uncredited gorilla!). Note that many feel that this movie is superior to the first movie in the series, 1932's "Tarzan the Ape Man", because that movie contained a huge amount of introductory material and focused on characters other than Tarzan and Jane. This movie focuses almost exclusively on Tarzan and Jane. Also, there is a famous nude swimming scene with Jane but it was not actually Maureen O'Sullivan. She was apparently fine with the nudity but suffered from claustrophobia and couldn't bear to put her face under water, and so she was doubled by Olympic gold medal winner Josephine McKim. Interestingly, there were three versions of this scene, one with her traditional costume, one topless, and one completely nude. This was done so that individual U.S. states could select the version to be shown, but the entire scene was eventually removed due to protests from conservative religious groups (the nude version has been restored to modern releases of the film). Also note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had its bottom 5" trimmed off. It also had the top blank area trimmed off and the portion of the card that was present had paper loss and tears in the left and right borders, and some stains, smudges, and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the window card was in poor condition prior to paperbacking. Someone recreated the bottom 5", but apparently, they did not know there was a thin red strip along the bottom that they did not recreate. Given the poster's many defects, they did an overall nice job, and it will look nice on the new owner's wall, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Please read the above carefully and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this heavily restored window card. Learn More about condition grades
