An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Jungle Moon Men, the 1955 Charles S. Gould science fiction (sci-fi) adventure thriller ("Battling the poison dart men!"; "Jungle Jim to the rescue!"; "Strange jungle adventure") starring Johnny Weissmuller (as himself!), Jean Byron, Helene Stanton, Bill Henry, and Kimba (the chimp). Note that this movie borrows heavily from the H. Rider Haggard classic, "She", with an immortal high priestess! Also note that this movie was one of three movies Johnny Weissmuller made after his long-running series of "Jungle Jim" movies (this was in fact, Weissmuller's very final movie!). In those three movies, which resembled "Jungle Jim" movies in every way, Weissmuller is not called "Jungle Jim", but is billed as himself! The rights for the Jungle Jim character had been sold to Screen Gems which was going to make a TV series (starring Weissmuller) but producer Sam Katzman still had three stories pending with the Jungle Jim character. Rather than shelving the projects, he simply changed the character's name to Johnny Weissmuller. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Glenn Cravath Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. There are some creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
