KING KONG

Unique! Thrilling! Startling! That was the way the movie posters announced the coming attraction of King Kong. The giant gorilla brought excitement and adventure to the big screen and did, indeed, thrill a nation of theatergoers. Composer Max Steiner provided the music for more than 200 films including

King Kong, and he won Academy Awards in 1935, 1942, and 1945. His legacy is enhanced by his innovative score for Gone With the Wind.

This individually hand painted cachet is destined to become a hobby favorite. It features the huge gorilla on the loose in Manhattan. You must experience this miniature work of art first hand - it is awesome! In the weeks and months ahead, I'll be using other classic movies and Broadway plays to pay tribute to the songwriters and composers who provided the music for them. Trust me when I tell you it will be a great FDC series that you'll enjoy owning, and it begins now with King Kong.

Sometimes the visual impact and collection appeal of a particular cachet makes it a "must own" within the hobby. This item is such a piece, and an early sell-out can be expected. It's unique! It's thrilling! It's startling! In eye-catching and dynamic watercolors - it's King Kong! Item #K3101 - $12.25.
