Description

King Kong (RKO, 1933). French Grande (47" X 63"). Willis O'Brien, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest P. Schoedsack's classic story of the "Beauty and the Beast" with its ground-breaking special effects has gone down in motion picture history as one of the greatest films ever made. Without Kong, the special effects of today would not exist. And who can forget Fay Wray as Ann Darrow - "the bravest girl I have ever known"? King Kong is undoubtedly one of the greatest icons of the cinema. And now we come to this poster. A huge King Kong atop the Empire State Building with the diminutive Fay Wray with the biplanes attacking - artist Rene Peron was responsible for creating one of the most stunning visualizations of Kong for this incredible French grande. Much reproduced as a fine art print in recent years, Heritage is pleased to offer this rare 1933 original, of which only a handful have ever turned up. Prior to restoration, there were pinpoint crossfold separations and fold wear with a small tear on the lower horizontal fold. The linen has been trimmed to the edge of the borders. Don't pass up this opportunity to own one of the finest posters to ever be created for this classic film. Very Fine- on Linen.
