Orphan of the Wilderness (released in the U.S. as "Wild Innocence"), the 1936 Ken G. Hall Australian outdoors animal sports boxing kangaroo circus adventure pseudo-documentary ("Gloriously refreshing romance amid the grandeur of Australia's great outdoors!"; many years ahead of its time!; about the mistreatment of the wild animals in Australia; the movie begins with information about several types of native Australian animals, and then tells the story of Chut, a kangaroo that is forced to entertain people by boxing human beings in a circus, and at the end of the movie, Chut's original owner manages to rescue him!) starring Chut (the kangaroo), Gwen Monroe (billed as "Wendy Munro"), Brian Abbot, Ethel Saker, Harry Abdy, and Joe Valli. Note that first release Australian poster material from this movie is incredibly rare. We knew this movie was released in France, because we had seen a French poster, and that it was released in the U.S., because we had seen a U.S. lobby card set, but we had never seen any other first release material from this movie until 2014, when we were first consigned an example of the first release Australian one-sheet!
Artist: Frank Tyler
Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Australian movie! Also note that this Australian one-sheet measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm].

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on small parts of some foldlines. It had pinholes around the edges and a pinhole in the forehead of the woman at upper right. It had some small tears in the right blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
