Auction History Result 5f0948 MONSTER & THE GIRL 1sh 1941 great art of fake ape carrying unconscious woman, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/24/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Monster and the Girl, the 1941 Stuart Heisler gorilla-gone-bad fantasy ape horror thriller (a great forgotten horror/fantasy movie where a girl is forced into prostitution by a gangster, and her brother tries to rescue her, but he is framed for murder and executed, but then a mad scientist transplants his brain into a gorilla, and the gorilla/brother gets his revenge!) starring Ellen Drew, Robert Paige, Paul Lukas, Joseph Calleia, Onslow Stevens, Rod Cameron, Phillip Terry, George Zucco, and Charles Gemora (as the gorilla!). 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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this one-sheet, and the last one was 14 years ago, when it sold for $2,600! That last example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! Condition: good to very good. The poster had small separation and tiny paper loss at the top two crossfolds, with small separation at the ends of some folds. It had some pinholes around the edges. Someone put tape on the back of the top two crossfolds and on the back of the ends of some folds. This very rare poster can either be displayed as it is, or certainly, after a relatively simple linenbacking, it will display incredibly! Learn More about condition grades
