Date Sold 9/6/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 1970 Re-Release Theatrical Folded Italian Photobusta Movie Posters (pbustas; measure 18" x 26 1/4" [46 x 67 cm]) (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! 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 these posters were folded at one time but have been laying flat for a long time and they will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away last year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca.
