An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Ape Man, the 1943 William Beaudine science fiction (sci-fi) monster horror thriller (based on the story by Karl Brown) starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as the monster, Dr. James Brewster), Louise Currie, Wallace Ford, Henry Hall, Minerva Urecal, and Emil Van Horn (as the gorilla). Note that Ray 'Crash' Corrigan and Charles Gemora were two actors who played lots of gorillas in movies in the 1930s and 1940s. Emil Van Horn and Jack Leonard each played around a dozen gorillas, and interestingly, that was all they did (no doubt all four of them owned a gorilla suit!).

Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned two examples of this poster before, and only one in the last 31 years! Condition: poor. The poster is in much, much lesser condition. It was used as a sign, and it has since deteriorated, with most of the folds having separated and they are repaired with MANY pieces of tape from the back (the poster is only held together by tape). There are MANY stains of different types scattered throughout the poster, and there are other defects on the front that are very noticeable in our super-sized image. Please see our super-sized image and read our condition description to get a good sense of the lesser condition of this poster prior to placing a bid and please DO NOT BID unless you can accept the very significant defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
