Auction History Result 2j027 TARZAN FINDS A SON WC '39 Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, Sheffield, ultra rare! Date Sold 11/3/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 13 1/2" x 16 1/2" [34 x 42 cm]) (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!

Important Added Info: Note that this window card is extremely rare and that we have never auctioned it before! Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 13 1/2" x 16 1/2" [34 x 42 cm]. Note that the window card was folded across the original center at one time. Because the entire poster is fragile and has condition issues, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, because we believe that re-folding the window card would potentially lessen its condition even more. If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it. Condition: fair. Someone trimmed all the borders of the card, slightly entering the edges of the image on the left and right. There is additional paper loss in the middle of the left of the card. The card was folded across the original middle, and there are creases and surface paper loss along that fold (and someone put wide tape on the back of that area). There are water stains in the bottom left and creases, scuffs, and some paper loss around the edges (see our image). Obviously, this very rare window card can be "rescued" by a talented restorer, but bear this expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
