No, just told "forties" but I always figured it would have been post WWII and that they used the R'42 art as their model. Not sure how well films were being distributed in the war years. However, as Rich noted, it could have been the '52 as well.

Were you told when, in the 1940's, it was possibly issued? Checking on imdb, there is no first release or later re-release years listed for Argentina. --- On Sat, 3/24/12, P Molitor <oldposte...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: P Molitor <oldposte...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [MOPO] Argentina King Kong OS questions To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Saturday, March 24, 2012, 1:10 PM There was at least one RKO rerelease: http://petersmovieposters.com/fotos/30s-2/kingkong-arg.jpg I was told this was a '40s release. --Peter --- On Sat, 3/24/12, rixpost...@aol.com <rixpost...@aol.com> wrote: From: rixpost...@aol.com <rixpost...@aol.com> Subject: Re: [MOPO] Argentina King Kong OS questions To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Saturday, March 24, 2012, 10:56 AM The one sheet from Argentina that's said to be original says that the production company is "Enterprise Films", not RKO---maybe I'm out of the loop, but I've never heard of Enterprise Films. It would lead me to believe even the "original" poster is probably a 40's re-release. As for the one that sold for $1200 on eBay, I'd be willing to bet it's more likely a repro than anything else.

What strikes me is that for a supposed 1st release poster (the ebay copy), there are no production credits at the bottom (or anywhere else) and no RKO logo. The second version has production credits at the bottom, but then is missing that small logo and the word "Presenta" at the upper right. Because of this omission, the 3 actors' names are now not centered. And with the name Enterprise Films in the credits, on this version, wouldn't that suggest a later release by a local distributor? It would be great to be able to see the small mark/symbol on the lower right border of the ebay copy and to be able to read what is printed in the same area of Doug's second version, too. The bottom image is a first release poster for Kong, in Argentina. --- On Sat, 3/24/12, Doug Taylor <douglasbtay...@hotmail.com> wrote: Mouse here to zoom in Image not available From: Doug Taylor <douglasbtay...@hotmail.com> Subject: [MOPO] Argentina King Kong OS questions To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Saturday, March 24, 2012, 8:50 AM This poster just sold on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360357329376> &item=360357329376 It has interesting artwork, that is similar to this poster: http://www.burton-taylor.com/test/Posters/images/KK.jpg My questions are: Are they both original 1933? If so, does anyone know the difference between the two? Did they just release two styles or is one a reprint or re-release of some sort?
