Date Sold 10/15/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 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 RKO did a very unusual promotion for this, creating four horizontal window cards (this was sometimes done with Belgian posters, but it is extremely rare for U.S. window cards to be in a horizontal format), and of course, it is unusual to have more than one style of window cards, and here they had FOUR (marked A, B, C, and D). Unfortunately, only the right half of this card is present (it is the style A, which we have never auctioned before). While the title is present, the image of the giant ape is missing, so it is a very major defect! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: poor. Only the right half of the card is present (see above) and it has other defects, too.
