A 1949 Re-Release (re-titled "King of Jungleland" for this re-release) Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Darkest Africa, the 1936 B. Reeves Eason & Joseph Kane jungle fantasy adventure serial ("A Republic Serial in 15 Episodes"; "Original story by John Rathmell and Tracy Knight"; about animal trainer Beatty helping a boy and his sister escape from a power-mad high priest in the lost city of Joba) starring Clyde Beatty ("World's Greatest Wild Animal Trainer"), Manuel King ("World's Youngest Wild Animal Trainer"; as Baru, son of the jungle!), Cole Bros Beatty Circus, Elaine Shepard, Lucien Prival, Wheeler Oakman, Edward McWade, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (in a dual role, as Bonga the gorilla and also as Samabi the guard!). 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.
