Auction History Result t091 APE movie lobby card '40 knife-wielding Boris Karloff! Date Sold 10/31/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Ape, the 1940 William Nigh mad scientist horror thriller ("Suggested by the play by Adam Hull Shirk. Adaption by Curt Siodmak"; although his name this time is spelled "Kurt"; Siodmak must have had a real ape fetish, as he wrote most of the cheesy ape-type movies of the 1940s, including "Bride of the Gorilla", and many other B-horror movie classics!) starring Boris Karloff, Maris Wrixon, Gertrude Hoffman, Henry Hall, Gene O'Donnell, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the man in the really fake ape suit!). 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. Important Added Info: Note that only two of the scene cards from this set show both Boris Karloff and the giant ape, and this is one of them! Condition: very good to fine. There were pinholes in the corners and a piece of tape on the back of each of the two corners, which is long gone. There are a few smudges and a pinhole in the center of the top blank border. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Some restorer did careful touch up to the corners where the pinholes were, but no other restoration. Learn More about condition grades
