Description

Mighty Joe Young (RKO, 1949). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Merian Cooper, the director as well as writer and producer of the original "King Kong," reunited many from the old team in an attempt to duplicate the runaway success of his earlier gorilla feature. Willis O'Brian, the original stop-motion animator, was pulled in to bring the gorilla star to life. He brought with him a young assistant, Ray Harryhausen. The poster has older restoration to address pinholes, chips in the crossfold and fold line separations, chips in the corners, and edge wear. Work has been done on the lettering on the bottom of the poster. Very Good on Linen.
