An Original (re-titled "DOA" for this release) Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Monster and the Girl, the 1941 Stuart Heisler gorilla-gone-bad fantasy ape horror thriller (a great forgotten horror/fantasy movie where a girl is forced into prostitution by a gangster, and her brother tries to rescue her, but he is framed for murder and executed, but then a mad scientist transplants his brain into a gorilla, and the gorilla/brother gets his revenge!) starring Ellen Drew, Robert Paige, Paul Lukas, Joseph Calleia, Onslow Stevens, Rod Cameron, Phillip Terry, George Zucco, and Charles Gemora (as the gorilla!). Note that starting in 1929 and continuing into the 1940s, Charles Gemora played gorillas in many movies, likely because he owned a gorilla suit, and could do a somewhat convincing job portraying a gorilla. Just a few years later, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan would also start playing gorillas, and no doubt they competed for roles in every movie requiring a gorilla!
