A 1948 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Tarzan's Secret Treasure, the 1941 Richard Thorpe Africa action jungle adventure fantasy thriller ("NEW THRILLS 2 years in production"; "See King Tarz The Celebrated Jungle Actor"; "Reenacting one of the Thrilling Scenes from Metro-Goldwyn-Meyers's New Tarzan picture"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), Johnny Sheffield (as Boy), Reginald Owen, Barry Fitzgerald, Tom Conway, Philip Dorn, Cordell Hickman (as Tumbo; a black African American juvenile actor who retired when he was 14, but he only received stereotypical roles given to young blacks of that time), Cheeta (the chimpanzee), and "King Tarz" (the "Sensational Jungle Actor", the lion). 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 the poster says "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER MASTERPIECE REPRINT" at bottom left. This was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1948 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: fair to good. Someone drew a pencil "X" in the face of Weissmuller at bottom left, and someone else put chalk marks on the figures of the three stars at lower right, and a small chalk mark in O'Sullivan's eyebrow at the lower left of the poster (this was likely done by children waiting in line at a theater!). Other than the above, the poster has some minor border defects, but is otherwise in pretty good condition. I have no idea how easy or difficult it would be to remove or restore the above pencil and chalk marks, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept these defects, or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
