Auction History Result 2j844 MARK OF THE GORILLA 3sh '51 cool art of Johnny Weissmuller as Jungle Jim attacking ape! Date Sold 10/16/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (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.
