An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Unknown Island, the 1948 Jack Bernhard science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy dinosaur adventure ("Spectacular! Living monsters of pre-history Alive before your eyes - In a hidden island in the Pacific!"; "Prehistoric Monsters of an unknown world invade the world of today!"; "So spectacular - It took one year to produce! See: Pre-historic denizens that defy the imagination! See: King tyrant lizards in deadly combat! See: Man's puny attempt to defeat monstrous beasts!"; "It's out of this world - Alive on a forbidden continent 60,000,000 years ago! Wonders never before beheld by man!"; "Colossal! A new world of adventures from a world of 60,000,000 years ago!"; "Alive--strange--stirring!") starring Virginia Grey, Philip Reed, Barton MacLane, Richard Denning, Richard Wessell, Daniel White, Phillip Nazir, and and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the man in the really fake ape suit!). 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! Also note that the movie was released by Film Classics, and that this company was the original releasing studio for this low budget fantasy sci-fi movie (they also distributed re-releases of better known titles, but they did do the first release of some low budget movies of the 1940s). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the film distributor "Film Classics" primarily distributed re-releases of major studios in the late 1940s and 1950s, but they DID produce a few of their own movies, including this one. This is the first release of this movie, and it NOT a re-release, and we have never auctioned it before! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good. The sections were taped together at one time and there are also staple holes around the edges. There is an uneven tear in the bottom right corner extending into the credits that was repaired with paper tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
