Auction History Result 4w291 MARK OF THE GORILLA 8 LCs 1951 jungle explorer Johnny Weissmuller, Suzanne Dalbert! Date Sold 3/8/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Mark of the Gorilla, the 1950 William A. Berke action adventure jungle thriller ("Johnny snatches jungle beauty from gold-looting gorilla-men!"; "Johnny's weirdest jungle adventure!"; "Based upon the famous King Features Syndicate newspaper feature", which was the comic strip sometimes drawn by Alex Raymond; about Nazis who disguise themselves as gorillas so that they can steal gold from the natives, but Jungle Jim stops them!) starring Johnny Weissmuller ("as Jungle Jim"), Trudy Marshall, Suzanne Dalbert, Onslow Stevens, Robert Purcell, Pierce Lyden, Neyle Morrow, Selmer Jackson, and Steve Calvert (as the Gorilla Man). 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! There is an oddity to this movie! The plot summary we have seen refers to multiple Nazis in gorilla suits, and Steve Calvert definitely played one of the gorillas, but we have seen a still from the movie that shows two other men in gorilla suits side by side. But they are not credited, so does anyone know who played the other gorillas? NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. The title card has creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges. Each has pinholes around the edges and/or light scuff marks and smudges, typical of vintage lobby cards that were likely displayed at a theater and some have tears of varying lengths around the edges (partially repaired with tape from the back).
