An Original Vintage Theatrical English Movie Press Book (English pb; measures 8 1/2" x 14" [22 x 36 cm]; 78 pages) (Learn More) Konga, the 1961 John Lemont English/U.S. London England rampaging gorilla ape horror science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("Not since 'King Kong' ...has the screen exploded with such mighty fury and spectacle!"; "Not since 'King Kong' ...has the screen thundered to such mighty excitement!"; "in Color and SpectaMation") starring Michael Gough, Margo Johns, Jess Conrad, Claire Gordon, Jack Watson, and Paul Stockman (in the title role as Konga the gorilla). Note that the producers of the movie wisely made posters making Konga seem like King Kong, including standing tall over buildings and holding a pretty girl in his hand, but in the movie itself, Konga was a man in an ape suit and not a very convincing one, and people who went into the movie after seeing the posters must have been very confused and disappointed! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" "press book" for this partially English movie, but it is unlike any pressbook we have ever seen! It was "Compiled by Lillana Wilkie" as noted on the first page, and it has 78 single-sided pages giving all sorts of information about the movie, but there are no images (we suspect it would have been better described as a presskit (please see our images for a sense of what this is like). Condition: very good, NO CUTS. There is slight darkening around the edges of the covers and there is rust on the staples on the first interior page, but otherwise, this item is in pretty nice condition!
