An Original Undated (probably 1950s; from the first release of this movie in Italy) Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) Jungle Jim, the 1948 William A. Berke Africa comic strip adventure thriller ("Hunting a long-lost treasure hoard!"; "His most exciting role!"; "Based upon the famous King Features Syndicate newspaper feature"; "Rousing spectacle of wild adventure!"; the very first of the "Jungle Jim" series of movies) starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Jungle Jim), Virginia Grey, George Reeves, Lita Baron, Rick Vallin, Holmes Herbert, , and Steve Calvert (in an uncredited role as the man in the gorilla suit). Note that in 1948, Steve Calvert bought Ray 'Crash' Corrigan's gorilla costume, which Corrigan had been using in movies since at least 1932. He appeared in 12 movies between 1948 and 1958 as a gorilla wearing Corrigan's costume! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Anselmo Ballester Condition: fair to good. The poster is fragile and has separated on parts of many foldlines and has tears and tiny paper loss on the foldlines and in the borders. There is a long tear that is not on a foldline and some tape repairs on the back. The poster is in urgent need of expert professional restoration. But the poster is mostly "all there", and after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and it will likely require little paint restoration within the image. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
