Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price.

An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title 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!

Important Added Info: There are two tiny pinholes in each of the top corners and one in each of the bottom corners. There is a fine 1" scuff line running from into the forehead of the ape. There is a very faint semi-circular scuff line in the right of the ape's body and a couple of faint scuff lines in Karloff's hair and forehead. Note that this card has never been restored in any way and that there is not the slightest bit of tape on the front or back of the card.

Condition: very good.
