Auction History Result 9y647 MARK OF THE GORILLA LC #7 '51 jungle explorer Johnny Weissmuller, Suzanne Dalbert! Date Sold 7/4/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #7 (LC; measures 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. There is a 1/4" punch hole in the left corners of the card and there are some 1/2" and smaller tears around the edges. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
