Item Description
27x41" Sack silk-screened, one-sheet movie poster for the 1935 film that starred Herman Brix as Tarzan. In the summer of 1934, Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs accepted an offer to become the fourth partner in a project called Burroughs Tarzan Enterprises, a film company whose chief business would be to promote Burroughs' works. MGM, the main distributor of Tarzan films, campaigned against this company, harshly blocking distribution of "The New Adventures Of Tarzan" in favor of their upcoming film of the same name. A bit of strong-arming involved MGM threatening theaters that showed this serial w/not being allowed to show the third MGM Tarzan film and almost every big theater chose to wait for the MGM film, not showing this serial. Merchandise and advertising from this film is rare and this example is exquisite w/color tones in stylized sequence showing Tarzan fighting lion w/inset image of Tarzan holding knife standing w/Cheeta. Folded as issued, poster has several small tears/chips along margins and some archival tape repairs on reverse to splits along fold lines (including 3.75" split at top left). Fold crease intersections have .5" to 1" tears, w/top fold crease intersection having 3/8" hole. Scattered tears along fold lines. VG overall, but color remains bright and strong. Poster would make for a nice display if framed.
