Powder-Keg Pet of Society!

I just don't think of Mighty Joe Young (1949) as being a John Ford movie.  It's not that it's a bad movie, but ... well, a giant ape movie?  I'm a Ben Johnson fan myself, so that alone would have gotten me to the theater.  The studio felt that a good ad program was needed to get a few more viewers.  They did great with this two-page ad, but I need to split the image to make it readable.


"Read the newspapers ... Watch the billboards ... Listen to the radio for opening date!"  Are we getting excited?!!
