An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Jumbo Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Mighty Joe Young, the classic 1949 Ernest B. Schoedsack fantasy animal gorilla ape thriller ("Striking! Startling! Staggering!"; "Merian Cooper's amazing adventure in the unusual!"; "Staggering sensation! Electrifying excitement!"; "The ten most terrific thrills ever pictured"; "The cyclonic cavalcade of electrifying sensations that makes your eyes pop out and your heart skip a beat!"; produced by John Ford & Merian C. Cooper; with special effects by Ray Harryhausen, in his first movie, and "Technical Creator Willis O'Brien", creator of King Kong!) starring Terry Moore, Ben Johnson, Robert Armstrong, Frank McHugh, Douglas Fowley, Paul Guilfoyle, Nestor Paiva, and Pat Barton. Note that Ray Harryhausen was sadly not given any credit on the posters for this movie, likely because he was unknown at this time, but Willis O'Brien was credited, no doubt in the hopes that people would remember him from King Kong! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Gene Widhoff Important Added Info: Bizarrely, the theater added a "IT'S ALIVE!" snipe to the middle right (I imagine it could be removed, but to me, it is a really cool addition to the poster, because I am not clear what they were hoping people viewing the window card would think!). Condition: good to very good. The jumbo window card was never folded. It has faint smudges around the edges with some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image and paper loss in the bottom of the right border. There are many creases in the right of the bottom play dates area and some stains scattered in the borders. There is a snipe glued to the middle right . The above defects are not very distracting and the poster can surely be displayed and enjoyed just as it is! Learn More about condition grades
