An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and many creases and tiny tears on most of the foldlines. There was a 2" vertical tear in the left of the top foldline (at the left edge of the ape's head) and there were extra folds in the left half of the bottom foldline. There were pinholes, creases, smudges, and some tiny paper loss around the edges of the poster and some scattered scuffs in the image. There were scuffs and smudges in the letters of the title, and the restorer chose to re-paint those letters, to "even them out". Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but it did have the defects and restoration described above, so please do not bid on this poster unless you have read the above carefully (and looked at our super-sized image), and can accept the restoration this cool poster has had!
