Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was re-released in 1948 (just seven years after the first release), MGM used the exact same printing plates from the first release, but they added "MGM Re-Presents" in the top left corner and put "THE GREATEST TARZAN IS BACK" over the original tagline at middle right, and they added "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER MASTERPIECE REPRINT" at bottom right (his was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused). Otherwise, the poster has the same image and printing quality of the 1941 original. Know that this poster is an original poster from the 1948 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"!
