An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

The White Gorilla, the 1945 Harry L. Fraser and Jack Nelson Africa wild ape jungle fantasy adventure thriller ("See Savage Tiger Men Tamed by a Woman!"; "See Konga, the White Gorilla, an outcast since Birth, and Nbonga, the Black Gorilla, in a battle for jungle supremacy!"; "The unconscious form of a girl puzzled him!"; "Mystery And Romance! Dangerous Adventure!"; "The greatest wild animal picture ever made!"; "Terrific Drama of Jungle Adventure") starring Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (in the title role as Konga, the White Gorilla, and also as the male lead AND as the narrator!), Lorraine Miller, George J. Lewis, Frank Merrill, Francis Ford, "and an all star cast". Note that this was a VERY cheesy movie! The makers of it started with footage from a 1927 silent serial, "Perils of the Jungle", and then made it into a sort of "documentary" (there was a story about the white gorilla fighting the king of the black gorillas!), with a narrator describing the action (because it was, after all, taken from a silent movie!). Apparently, the movie was shown in many small towns across the country, and the lurid advertising (with a scantily clad girl in the arms of a white gorilla), apparently drew in large crowds! If anyone has seen this movie and can tell us more about it, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also 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: Note that many exhibitors of low-budget 1930s and 1940s exploitation movies would take the movies around the country for a roadshow release in small towns, and they would often make a set of lobby cards that consisted of a stock lobby card with an inset area that was 5 1/2" x 8", and glue eight different 5x7s on to eight stock lobby cards, thus inexpensively creating an 8 card set. We do not know if these were the only lobby cards created for this movie, or if there was a regular 8 card set created as well (if anyone knows either way, please e-mail us and we will post it here). Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has.

Condition: good to very good. There are a few pinholes and scuffs scattered in the inset still, but they are mostly only noticeable when it is tilted to the light. The rest of the card has surface paper loss in each corner where tape was roughly removed, as well as some minor creases and pinholes around the edges. There is paper tape on the back of the entire left border.
