A 1957 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Chapter 1 ("The Untamed Beast") Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Congo Bill, King of the Jungle, the 1948 Spencer Gordon Bennet & Thomas Carr Africa comic book character jungle safari action adventure serial ("Based upon the comic strip, 'Congo Bill', appearing in 'Action Comics' magazine, created by Whitney Ellsworth"; "A mad gorilla strikes!"; "By Arrangement with National Comics Publications, inc."; "From the company that gave you SUPERMAN... another super serial!"; "A Columbia Serial") starring Don McGuire (in the title role "as Congo Bill"), Cleo Moore (as the White Queen!), Jack Ingram, I. Stanford Jolley, Neyle Morrow, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the gorilla!). 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 lobby card says "A COLUMBIA SERIAL REPRINT" at bottom right. 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 card is an original lobby card from the 1957 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Condition: very good to fine. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
