Auction History Result 4g170 GORILLA linen 1sh '27 wild artwork of creepy ape looming over sexy barely-dressed woman! Date Sold 12/3/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Gorilla, the 1927 Alfred Santell silent monster murder horror thriller ("Ah!"; "Don't worry about the Gorilla - Mulligan and Garrity are on the job!"; loosely based on the play by Ralph Spence, one of the earliest "haunted house" type plays; by the time it was made into a movie, its plot had become so cliched that this movie plays it for laughs, and was apparently quite funny, and quite successful!) starring Charles Murray (billed as "Charley Murray"; as Garrity), Fred Kelsey (as Mulligan), Alice Day, Tully Marshall, Claude Gillingwater, Walter Pidgeon, Brooks Benedict, Syd Crossley, and John Kolb (uncredited, as the man in the gorilla suit). Note that Walter Pidgeon plays a handsome young man in this movie who is not what he seems, and that is an important plot twist. Oddly, three years later, First National remade this movie, and they significantly changed plot elements. The lead lady and the cast also changed, EXCEPT for Walter Pidgeon, but oddly, his character was quite a bit changed! Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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: very good. The poster had an extra horizontal fold just above the regular bottom horizontal fold. It had small paper loss at the top crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had some tears and tiny paper loss near the center of the top foldline and minor wear on the other folds, with some pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
