An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Phantom of the Rue Morgue, the 1954 Roy Del Ruth 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) monster horror thriller ("Can it be Human?"; "It mauls... It rips... It vanishes! A mammoth monstrous man -or- creature rising out of the depths beneath the city!"; "See It -- But Don't Reveal It! Let your friends feel for themselves the Phantom's full impact!"; "Screendom's most amazing creature holds you in the grip of the world's greatest shock-and-suspense story sensation!"; "The New Warner Bros. Sensation"; "3 Dimension and WarnerColor"; "From Edgar Allan Poe's 'Murders in the Rue Morgue'") starring Karl Malden, Claude Dauphin, Patricia Medina, Steve Forrest, Anthony Caruso, Dolores Dorn, and Charles Gemora (as Sultan the Gorilla; and amazingly, he had earlier this role when the movie was first by Universal in 1932, 22 years earlier!). Note that starting in 1929 and continuing into the 1940s, Charles Gemora played gorillas in many movies, likely because he owned a gorilla suit, and could do a somewhat convincing job portraying a gorilla. Just a few years later, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan would also start playing gorillas, and no doubt they competed for roles in every movie requiring a gorilla! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D posters and 2D posters (the 2-D posters were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "3-D" release. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and it had defects which were repaired during the linenbacking process (which we describe below, as well as the quality of the restoration, if I thought there was something about the restoration worth commenting on!). You should also look at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). the poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and creases and tears on many foldlines; there were some minor border defects; there is a long faint smudge across the center of the title. The person who linenbacked the poster did so in a mostly minimalist fashion. You can still see some of the above defects, but they are not very noticeable or distracting.
