Auction History Result 5d346 MARK OF THE GORILLA 12 8x10 stills '50 jungle explorer Johnny Weissmuller, Trudy Marshall! Date Sold 1/12/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 12 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Mark of the Gorilla, the 1950 William A. Berke action adventure jungle thriller ("Johnny snatches jungle beauty from gold-looting gorilla-men!"; "Johnny's weirdest jungle adventure!"; "Based upon the famous King Features Syndicate newspaper feature", which was the comic strip sometimes drawn by Alex Raymond; about Nazis who disguise themselves as gorillas so that they can steal gold from the natives, but Jungle Jim stops them!) starring Johnny Weissmuller ("as Jungle Jim"), Trudy Marshall, Suzanne Dalbert, Onslow Stevens, Robert Purcell, Pierce Lyden, Neyle Morrow, Selmer Jackson, and Steve Calvert (as the Gorilla Man). Note that in 1948, Steve Calvert bought Ray 'Crash' Corrigan's gorilla costume, which Corrigan had been using in movies since at least 1932. He appeared in 12 movies between 1948 and 1958 as a gorilla wearing Corrigan's costume! There is an oddity to this movie! The plot summary we have seen refers to multiple Nazis in gorilla suits, and Steve Calvert definitely played one of the gorillas, but we have seen a still from the movie that shows two other men in gorilla suits side by side. But they are not credited, so does anyone know who played the other gorillas? NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 12 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE (but realize that on some of these lots with 9 or more stills there may be a few duplicates, mostly on post-1960 lots)! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
