Auction History Result 7r0508 TARZAN THE APE MAN 6x10 key book still 1932 Weissmuller feeding Maureen O'Sullivan in tree! Date Sold 2/18/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 6 1/4" x 10" [16 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Tarzan, the Ape Man, the 1932 W.S. Van Dyke jungle adventure action melodrama ("The thrill of thrills!"; "The producers of 'Trader Horn' have again brought out of the African jungle another great romantic thriller!"; "Based upon the Characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Neil Hamilton, Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), C. Aubrey Smith, Doris Lloyd, Ray Corrigan, Jack Leonard (both as uncredited apes!) and Cheetah (played by an uncredited chimpanzee). Note that Crash Corrigan and Jack Leonard both made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when they acquired "gorilla suits". In many of the movies in the 1930s and 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by either Crash Corrigan or Jack Leonard, no doubt because they could supply the suits! Of course, this was one of the most successful "franchises" in movie history, with several sequels with Weissmuller and O'Sullivan, and then more movies with just Weissmuller alone (after O'Sullivan left the franchise), and then other actors took up the lead role many different times!

Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a heavy paper, with three punch holes in the top (with a linen strip on the back of the holes, for reinforcement). Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Also note that this key book still originally measured 8" x 10", but it has been trimmed and it now measures 6 1/4" x 10" [16 x 25 cm]. Condition: good. There are two punch holes in the top border (see above). The left and right borders were mostly trimmed off and there are smudges in the bottom border. Learn More about condition grades
