An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Movie Cloth Banner (measures 23" x 28") (Learn More) Rango, the 1931 Ernest B. Schoedsack Indonesia Sumatra jungle adventure pseudo-documentary ("Real Tigers roaring their death threat! Real Apes screaming their fear! Real Humans fighting to live!"; "You'll laugh at the Charlie Chaplin of the jungle"; "The Wonder Picture of 1931"; "The Motion picture sensation of 1931"; "The most blase man and woman in the world will acknowledge 'Rango' as the Wonder Picture of 1931"; "Truth is stranger than fiction - and in 'Rango' it's much more thrilling!"; about a white father telling his son about Sumatran natives who try to capture a tiger, and their adventures with orangutans, who the man says is man's closest relative!) starring Claude King, Douglas Scott, Ali, and Bin (Ali and Bin were the native father and son within the story who were not credited on any of the posters). Note that director Ernest Schoedsack worked in movies in several capacities starting before World War I. He served in the war, and afterwards, he formed an association with Merian C. Cooper that would prove long lasting! They made the classic documentaries "Grass" and "Chang" together, and Schoedsack independently directed this movie, but then signed with RKO and worked as co-director and cinematographer with Cooper on King Kong, Son of Kong, and The Most Dangerous Game! Schoedsack was larger than life (including literally, as he was 6'6"!) and he was an adventurer who loved making jungle movies. His wife was screenwriter Ruth Rose, who wrote the screenplay for King Kong and other classic movies, and their marriage lasted 50 years until her passing in 1978 at the age of 82, and he passed away the follow year at the age of 86.

Important Added Info: Note that this is a special cloth banner that was created to promote this movie. In the 1920s and 1930s, studios would make banners such as this for virtually every significant movie they released, but very few of them survive, and they are extremely rare, especially in good condition (often, the cloth that was used was the sort that did not age well, especially if stored under less-than-ideal conditions). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
