An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Jungle Captive, the 1945 Harold Young Universal horror thriller ("Half Woman... Half Beast... In A Naked Jungle!" "Weird! Shocking! Primitive!"; "Ravishing beauty... Raging beast fury of the naked jungle!"; "She-monster... loving to kill!"; "Original Story by Dwight V. Babcock") starring Otto Kruger, Phil Brown, Amelita Ward, Jerome Cowan, Vicky Lane ("as the Ape Woman"), and Rondo Hatton ("as Moloch, the Brute"). Note that Rondo Hatton was afflicted with acromegaly, which is a chronic disease marked by enlargement of the bones of the extremities, face, and jaw. Hollywood saw in Hatton the chance to make money by exploiting the way the disease had distorted his features, and for several years prior to his death, he was a villain in several Universal horror movies. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a series of tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the vertical foldline, with a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. There were brown stains in the yellow background below the title. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Note that at some point after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and there are now minor creases in the right border (solely in the excess linen, and not in the poster itself).
