A 1956 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 16" [28 x 41 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) The Monster and the Ape, the 1945 Howard Bretherton science fiction (sci-fi) horror serial ("Amazing! Fantastic! Weird! Thrilling!"; "A Columbia Chapter Play") starring Robert Lowery, George Macready, Ralph Morgan, Carole Mathews, Willie Best, and Ray Corrigan (uncredited as "Thor" the ape!). Note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the pressbook says "A COLUMBIA SUPER SERIAL REPRINT" in the bottom center of the image on the front cover. This was a terminology used by Columbia Pictures at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This pressbook is the original poster from the 1956 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It is folded across the middle, but otherwise, it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
