An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Phantom of the Rue Morgue, the 1954 Roy Del Ruth 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) monster horror thriller ("Can it be Human?"; "It mauls... It rips... It vanishes! A mammoth monstrous man -or- creature rising out of the depths beneath the city!"; "See It -- But Don't Reveal It! Let your friends feel for themselves the Phantom's full impact!"; "Screendom's most amazing creature holds you in the grip of the world's greatest shock-and-suspense story sensation!"; "The New Warner Bros. Sensation"; "3 Dimension and WarnerColor"; "From Edgar Allan Poe's 'Murders in the Rue Morgue'") starring Karl Malden, Claude Dauphin, Patricia Medina, Steve Forrest, Anthony Caruso, Dolores Dorn, and Charles Gemora (as Sultan the Gorilla; and amazingly, he had earlier this role when the movie was first by Universal in 1932, 22 years earlier!). Note that starting in 1929 and continuing into the 1940s, Charles Gemora played gorillas in many movies, likely because he owned a gorilla suit, and could do a somewhat convincing job portraying a gorilla. Just a few years later, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan would also start playing gorillas, and no doubt they competed for roles in every movie requiring a gorilla!

The studios created both 3D posters and 2D posters (the 2-D posters were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "3-D" release. Condition: good. There was a snipe taped over the 3-D information at bottom left. The snipe was removed, but it left many stains and a tear that has yellowed tape on it. There are some tape stains in the borders and paper tape on the back of the bottom center. Learn More about condition grades
