Vintage original old Hollywood movie poster of Jungle Book (1942) for sale.
Jungle Book is a 1942 American Technicolor adventure film produced and directed by the Korda brothers. The film was based on a screenplay adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s literary classic “The Jungle Book.”
Produced by Alexander Korda and directed by his brother Zoltán Korda, Jungle Book starred Sabu Dastagir as Mowgli.
The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, making this vintage Jungle Book poster highly collectible!
