Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Chapter #4 One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) King of the Wild, the 1931 B. Reeves Eason & Richard Thorpe Africa jungle adventure horror serial ("A Mascot Serial"; "An all-talking serial in twelve stirring chapters"; written by Ford Beebe) starring Walter Miller, Nora Lane, Dorothy Christy, Tom Santschi, Boris Karloff, Victor Potel, Carroll Nye, and Arthur McLaglen (as Bimi the Ape Man). Note that this movie was made prior to "Frankenstein", which resulted in Boris Karloff being fifth billed, and he is pictured on very few posters. Had the movie been released a year later, no doubt he would have been top billed! Also, this serial didn't start production with "all-talking" in mind, and some of the actors did not have very good speaking voiced and not much dialog was written. Though no one is actually credited, a great deal of narration was added to the serial in Post Production. It is generally thought that Boris Karloff (who had lots of stage experience) did all the voice-over narration. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. light horizontal scuff lines throughout the image background as well as in the man's hair at upper center; light smudges and scuffs in the "K" in "KING" in the title at lower left; small areas of separation and very minor paper loss along the foldlines (more so along the top horizontal foldline and at the crossfolds); much of foldlines have been repaired with acid-free archival tape from the back; small paper loss in the upper right blank corner; Note that the poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Its defects are minor and respond well to restoration. After linenbacking, the poster will look great (and would have little paint anywhere on it)! Learn More about condition grades
