Schoedsack Africa New York City giant ape fantasy romantic love triangle adventure horror thriller ("'The most awesome thriller of all time' the one and only"; "Not beast.. Not human.... Not devil..

Cooper"; based on the story by Edgar Wallace, with incredible special effects by Willis O'Brien) starring Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong (as Carl Denham), Bruce Cabot, Frank Reicher, and Sam Hardy NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. The card was "starch backed", which means that it was moistened with a special starch solution, attached to a backing, allowed to dry, and then the card had touch up while it was backed, and afterward, the backing was removed. The card had pinholes in the corners and a pair of staple holes in the bottom center (in the yellow background above the "NG" of "KONG"). There were some pinholes, tiny tears, tiny paper loss, and smudges around the edges, with many smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. A talented restorer starch-backed the card and performed restoration to the above defects. The card displays well (although you can see signs of the smudges scattered in the stars' images and in the yellow background), and best of all, it still completely looks and feels like an unrestored lobby card!
