An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Jumbo Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 22" x 27" [56 x 69 cm]) (Learn More) Mighty Joe Young, the classic 1949 Ernest B. Schoedsack fantasy animal gorilla ape thriller ("Striking! Startling! Staggering!"; "Merian Cooper's amazing adventure in the unusual!"; "Staggering sensation! Electrifying excitement!"; "The ten most terrific thrills ever pictured"; "The cyclonic cavalcade of electrifying sensations that makes your eyes pop out and your heart skip a beat!"; produced by John Ford & Merian C. Cooper; with special effects by Ray Harryhausen, in his first movie, and "Technical Creator Willis O'Brien", creator of King Kong!) starring Terry Moore, Ben Johnson, Robert Armstrong, Frank McHugh, Douglas Fowley, Paul Guilfoyle, Nestor Paiva, and Pat Barton. Note that Ray Harryhausen was sadly not given any credit on the posters for this movie, likely because he was unknown at this time, but Willis O'Brien was credited, no doubt in the hopes that people would remember him from King Kong! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have previously seen examples of jumbo window cards from this classic Ray Harryhausen/Willis O'Brien movie, but all of those have had an "IT'S ALIVE" snipe on the image. While the snipe itself is kind of fun, it did interfere with the image on those examples. This poster does not have any snipe, so restoration will be far easier! Also note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 22" x 27" [56 x 69 cm]. Condition: good. The poster has been slightly trimmed on its top blank border. It has darkened somewhat and there are tiny areas of surface paper loss all around the edges, as well as pinholes and tears in parts of the borders, with tiny paper loss in the bottom corners. There are some tiny pinholes scattered in the image, most near the center and there is some tiny surface paper loss in the bottom left credits area. The poster has never had any sort of restoration. Obviously, one would prefer it to be in better condition, but most of the defects are either in the blank borders or are tiny pinholes within the art, and after restoration, the poster will look great, and it will truly have little paint restoration within the image!
