Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Mexican Movie Poster (measures 26 1/2" x 37") (Learn More) Bride of the Gorilla, the 1951 Curt Siodmak jungle horror thriller ("The Curse of a Lupino! To be the mistress... And the bride of a gorilla!"; "PRIMITIVE! PASSIONATE! Nothing like it ever before!"; "SHOCKING! A blonde beauty and a savage beast... ALONE in the JUNGLE!"; "Primitive! Passionate! Savage scenes never before unfolded!"; "A monster and a girl alone in a savage jungle!"; "Her clothes torn away screaming in terror"; "Her marriage vows were more than fulfilled!") starring Barbara Payton, Lon Chaney Jr. (billed as "Lon Chaney"), Raymond Burr, Tom Conway, Gisela Werbisek, Paul Cavanagh, Carol Varga, and Steve Calvert (in an uncredited title role as the gorilla). Note that in 1948, Steve Calvert bought Ray 'Crash' Corrigan's gorilla costume, which Corrigan had been using in movies since at least 1932. He appeared in 12 movies between 1948 and 1958 as a gorilla wearing Corrigan's costume! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this Mexican poster measures 26 1/2" x 37" and is linenbacked. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not restorated at all. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). There were many smudges and scuffs throughout the poster. There were many tears, stains, and pinholes around the edges. The poster was fairly well backed, but you can see signs of the many defects.
