A 1957 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Chapter #8 ("Sinister Schemes") Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 10 3/4" x 14") (Learn More) Congo Bill, King of the Jungle, the 1948 Spencer Gordon Bennet & Thomas Carr Africa comic book character jungle safari action adventure serial ("Based upon the comic strip, 'Congo Bill', appearing in 'Action Comics' magazine, created by Whitney Ellsworth"; "A mad gorilla strikes!"; "By Arrangement with National Comics Publications, inc."; "From the company that gave you SUPERMAN... another super serial!"; "A Columbia Serial") starring Don McGuire (in the title role "as Congo Bill"), Cleo Moore (as the White Queen!), Jack Ingram, I. Stanford Jolley, Neyle Morrow, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the gorilla!). 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 the poster says "A COLUMBIA REPRINT" in the lower right corner. This was a terminology used by Columbia Pictures at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1957 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Also note that this title card has been slightly trimmed and it now measures 10 3/4" x 14" Condition: good to very good. Someone stapled pieces of a poster to the back of this lobby card, to make a makeshift display for a different movie. The staples could be easily removed, but the lobby card will then have many staple holes. The bottom border has been slightly trimmed. Learn More about condition grades
