An Original Vintage Theatrical Italian Folded Movie Poster (printed in Spanish in Italy for Spanish audiences; 27" x 39") (Learn More) Konga, the 1961 John Lemont English/U.S. London England rampaging gorilla ape horror science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("Not since 'King Kong' ...has the screen exploded with such mighty fury and spectacle!"; "Not since 'King Kong' ...has the screen thundered to such mighty excitement!"; "in Color and SpectaMation") starring Michael Gough, Margo Johns, Jess Conrad, Claire Gordon, Jack Watson, and Paul Stockman (in the title role as Konga). Note that the producers of the movie wisely made posters making Konga seem like King Kong, including standing tall over buildings and holding a pretty girl in his hand, but in the movie itself, Konga was a man in an ape suit and not a very convincing one, and people who went into the movie after seeing the posters must have been very confused and disappointed!
