An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Kings of the Olympics, the 1948 Olympic sports documentary ("A gigantic parade of sport thrills"; "Shot by 600 Cameramen"; "The greatest thrills ever caught on film"; "See for the first time anywhere the track and field champions, the swimming and diving winners, the great victories of crew and boating."; "See America's greatest athletes triumph in the greatest sport spectacle in history - the Olympic Games!") featuring Jesse Owens, Earle Meadows, Glenn Cunningham, Jack Lovelock, "and a host of others!". Note that much of the footage from this movie was oddly taken from "Olympia", Leni Reifenstahl's Nazi documentary about the Olympics! But primarily only footage of American athletes was used, and the German athletes are presented in a negative light! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good to fine. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but it has little effect on the front, and otherwise, the poster is in pretty good condition.
