Schoedsack Africa New York City giant ape fantasy romantic love triangle adventure horror thriller ("'The most awesome thriller of all time' the one and only"; "Not beast.. Not human.... Not devil..

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: What is this item? It is a recreation of the original 1933 poster, hand painted on canvas by an artist! When paintings like these first surfaced in the hobby in the 1990s, people THOUGHT they had discovered the "original art" for the movie posters, but before too long, it was revealed that someone had hired artists to recreate the paintings, and that they were at that time newly created. But of course, it takes a lot of time and effort to recreate an entire poster, and the unknown artist who did this one did a nice job. It is NOT a vintage movie poster, but it can be framed and enjoyed (but please don't tell your friends it is "an original"!). Finally, note that the painting measures 35 1/2" x 46", counting the very large amount of excess canvas. But even this counting the excess canvas, the poster would measure 28" x 42", NOT 27" x 41". This is because the image area measures 27" x 41", and we imagine that this was caused by an error in communication, where the artist was told to make it 27" x 41", not realizing that that measurement should have included a blank border all around. Condition: very good to fine. The painting has slight staining around the edges, in the excess canvas, but these defects are relatively minor, and the painting will display quite nicely (see our image).
