An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More)

Phantom of the Rue Morgue, the 1954 Roy Del Ruth 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) monster horror thriller ("Can it be Human?"; "It mauls... It rips... It vanishes! A mammoth monstrous man -or- creature rising out of the depths beneath the city!"; "See It -- But Don't Reveal It! Let your friends feel for themselves the Phantom's full impact!"; "Screendom's most amazing creature holds you in the grip of the world's greatest shock-and-suspense story sensation!"; "The New Warner Bros. Sensation"; "3 Dimension and WarnerColor"; "From Edgar Allan Poe's 'Murders in the Rue Morgue'") starring Karl Malden, Claude Dauphin, Patricia Medina, Steve Forrest, Anthony Caruso, Dolores Dorn, and Charles Gemora (as Sultan the Gorilla; and amazingly, he had earlier this role when the movie was first by Universal in 1932, 22 years earlier!). 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!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "3-D" release. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. The poster has creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges (partially repaired with tape from the back at upper left) and some spotty staining in a few areas. It has blank white tape over the 3D tagline at lower left and a snipe was likely removed at upper left in the blank area. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid.
