An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian Photobusta Movie Poster (measures 18 1/2" x 26") (Learn More) Tarzan Finds a Son!, the 1939 Richard Thorpe Africa jungle action adventure fantasy thriller ("ALL NEW! The First Tarzan Picture in 3 Years!"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), Johnny Sheffield (billed as "John Sheffield"; as "Boy"), Ian Hunter, Henry Stephenson, Frieda Inescort, Henry Wilcoxon, Laraine Day, Morton Lowry, Gavin Muir, and Cheetah (the chimpanzee). Note that in the books, Tarzan and Jane were married, and there was nothing wrong with them having a son. But in the movies, the producers feared that their son would be considered "illegitimate", so they had him "found" in the jungle (and he was referred to as "Tarzan Jr." in some of the early advertising, but that was dropped, perhaps because it made it obvious he was really Weissmuller's son!). Also, the movie originally ended with Jane dying, because Maureen O'Sullivan didn't want to make anymore Tarzan movies. But fans protested mightily, and the ending was quickly changed so that she survived, and Maureen O'Sullivan was convinced to appear in two more Tarzan movies!

The poster was folded across the middle and there were many creases and scuffs above and below that foldline. There were many pinholes, creases, and scuffs around the edges of the poster. There was paper loss in the bottom left corner extending into the credits. There are some scattered scuffs throughout the image, but none in Weissmuller's face or in the arm with the knife. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed with the most minor of attempts at restoration, and so you can still see almost all of the above defects. The restorer drew in the missing part of Johnny in the bottom left corner. Something was wrong with the way the poster was mounted, because it is bubbling up from the linen in the top left of the image (just above the native's head), but a restorer could re-glue that area without re-backing the poster.
