An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Congorilla, the 1932 Osa & Martin Johnson Africa jungle safari documentary ("It is the thrill of your life!"; "The one and only talking picture entirely made in Africa!"; "Big apes and little people"; "Thrillingly penetrating the core of the world!") featuring "Mr. & Mrs. Martin Johnson". Note that Osa Johnson was married to Martin Johnson, and that they made African documentary movies for 20 years, but Martin Johnson was killed in 1937 during the filming of "Borneo", but his wife finished the movie and released it after his death, and she also released one final movie, "I Married Adventure", in 1940, three years after her husband's death, and on that movie, she was billed as "Osa Johnson (Mrs. Martin Johnson)".

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1932 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned three lobby cards, a glass slide, and two stills from the first release of this movie until we received this window card! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. The card had a 7" tear in the upper right and someone put tape on the back of that area. They also put tape on the back of some tears in the lower half of the right border and a tear in the center of the top border. There are some smudges around the edges. This wonderful and incredibly rare card can be displayed as it is, or certainly, restoration can be performed. Learn More about condition grades
