An Original Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/4" [9 x 13 cm]) (Learn More)

The Ape, the 1940 William Nigh mad scientist horror thriller ("Suggested by the play by Adam Hull Shirk. Adaption by Curt Siodmak"; although his name this time is spelled "Kurt"; Siodmak must have had a real ape fetish, as he wrote most of the cheesy ape-type movies of the 1940s, including "Bride of the Gorilla", and many other B-horror movie classics!) starring Boris Karloff, Maris Wrixon, Gertrude Hoffman, Henry Hall, Gene O'Donnell, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the man in the really fake ape suit!). 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!

Artist: Jose Maria
Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front.

Note that we are currently offering a collection of 316 Spanish heralds, and this is far and away the best collection of these we have ever offered! It covers many decades and genres with many very popular titles. Please note that Spanish heralds sometimes are found with theater information on the back, and sometimes they are not printed on the back. Sometimes the ones with printing on the back have some "bleed through" to the front, especially in the light colored areas. If one of these heralds have noticeable bleed through, then we downgrade the condition (depending on how distracting or noticeable it is) even if the herald is otherwise in excellent condition (and it may be that all known examples of that herald have printing on the back, so it may only be found that way). Please look at our super-sized image of heralds that have printing on the back to see how much it affects the front (if at all). When you look at the super-sized image, you may notice that the image appears somewhat "blurry". This is because we are taking a small herald and blowing up the image so that you can see the condition, but in the process, the image can become slightly distorted or blurry, so please realize that this is only the image, and not the herald itself.

Condition: good to very good.
