Auction History Result 4x0128 BRUTE MAN linen 1sh 1946 art of towering Rondo Hatton over sexy Jane Adams, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/6/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Brute Man, the 1946 Jean Yarbrough horror thriller ("Towering NEW terror! No woman safe from his crushing arms..."; "Original Story by Dwight V. Babcock") starring Tom Neal, Jane Adams, Jan Wiley, Peter Whitney, Donald MacBride, and Rondo Hatton (in the title role "as The Brute Man"). Note that Rondo Hatton was afflicted with acromegaly, which is a chronic disease marked by enlargement of the bones of the extremities, face, and jaw. Hollywood saw in Hatton the chance to make money by exploiting the way the disease had distorted his features, and for several years prior to his death, he was a villain in several Universal horror movies. He starred in this movie, which was also produced by Universal, but when he passed away before it was released, Universal was embarrassed to be releasing it, and they sold the rights to PRC, a much smaller studio, which released the movie (apparently the PRC owners were not that embarrassed).

The poster had tears and small areas of paper loss along parts of most folds, with pinholes, stains, and tears around the edges and a few areas of paper loss. The person who backed the poster did no restoration and they either did not glue it properly or it was damaged, but the poster has now separated from the linen in the right of the bottom fold. The poster is in urgent need of additional restoration, so please bear this in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
