KING OF THE JUNGLE Italian 2p 1969 best Tarantelli artwork.
An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm])
Artist: Ezio Tarantelli
Description: Tarzan en la Gruta del Oro (released in the U.S. in 1970 as "King of the Jungle" and in other English-speaking countries as "Zan, King of the Jungle" or "Zan the King of the Jungle"), the 1969 Manuel Cano Spanish/Italian/Puerto Rican romantic action adventure jungle thriller ("The Suri-Man from Surinam"; with a screenplay by Umberto Lenzi) starring Steve Hawkes (in the title role as Zan [Tarzan in some subtitled versions]), Kitty Swan (as the Amazon Queen), Krista Nell (billed as "Doris Cristanel"), Ugo Sasso, Jesus Puente, and Carlos Badia. Note that this was an unauthorized Tarzan film (which was why the hero was named "Zan" in English-speaking countries), but some say that Steve Hawkes was one of the best "Tarzans" ever. Note that there are some Italian posters that have "Tarzan" in the title, and others have just "Zan", likely to avoid lawsuits.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this partially Italian movie! Also note that this Italian two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap.
Overall Condition: good to very good.
