Original Cinerama Releasing Corp Window Card (14×22) for the Bernard L. Kowalski adventure drama, KRAKATOA: EAST OF JAVA (1969)—starring Maximillian Schell, Diane Baker, Brian Keith, and Barbara Werle. The producers learned of the geographic error—Krakatoa was really WEST of Java in the Sundra Strait—only after all the advertising and publicity materials had already been prepared. It was decided that it would be too costly to correct this error. While the effects surrounding the eruption are good and garnered the film its only Oscar nomination for Best Special Visual Effects— the acting, dialogue, and directing are lackluster at best. Kowalski was basically a TV director, and he never really uses the “big” screen, let alone Cinerama, to its full potential. The window card has the Cinerama fan-fold logo and a hand written announcement in the play-date area. Otherwise, the window card is in very good condition.
