Date Sold 2/24/2009Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Gorilla Woman, the 1937 African jungle adventure thriller ("GIANT MONSTERS enthroned as love gods!"; "STARTLING in it's weird action!"; "Jungle Masters Battling for Possession of a Woman"). It seems quite possible that the movie paper that has surfaced under this "Gorilla Woman" title is a re-titling of "Forbidden Adventure in Angkor" (also released simply as "Forbidden Adventure"), as we know that the first release "Gorilla Woman" movie paper is from 1937, and that we have seen this title given as an alternate title for "Forbidden Adventure in Angkor", which is the 1937 H.W. Warner & Roy Purdon African native ape exploitation horror pseudo-documentary ("A strange legend of a strange land!"; "Wild Women! Wild Beasts!"; "Has the Missing Link been found?"; "It's vivid! It's powerful! It's daring!"; this was SUPPOSED to be a documentary including footage from a 1914 expedition to Cambodia, but actually, it was entirely fake, and it was filmed in the U.S. with rear projection images of Cambodia, and had topless "natives" and men in gorilla suits, and even the "explorers" had false beards!). In spite of it being fake, the movie was hugely popular on the exploitation circuit, playing under many different names, and sometimes as part of a double-bill, and often presented as an "educational" movie, although the primary allure of the movie was clearly the "naked native women"! If anyone knows more about whether these two movies are the exact same, or whether there are differences between them, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
