An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Jungle Captive, the 1945 Harold Young Universal horror thriller ("Half Woman... Half Beast... In A Naked Jungle!" "Weird! Shocking! Primitive!"; "Ravishing beauty... Raging beast fury of the naked jungle!"; "She-monster... loving to kill!"; "Original Story by Dwight V. Babcock") starring Otto Kruger, Phil Brown, Amelita Ward, Jerome Cowan, Vicky Lane ("as the Ape Woman"), and Rondo Hatton ("as Moloch, the Brute"). Note that Rondo Hatton was afflicted with acromegaly, which is a chronic disease marked by enlargement of the bones of the extremities, face, and jaw. Hollywood saw in Hatton the chance to make money by exploiting the way the disease had distorted his features, and for several years prior to his death, he was a villain in several Universal horror movies. 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 poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster had paper loss at upper right and someone backed that area with masking tape and used green paint to fill in a portion of the background. There are two small areas of surface paper loss at left (in her hair and to the upper left of the title) and those were similarly painted. It otherwise has only a few scuff marks and creases around the edges, and after proper restoration and paperbacking it would look great. Learn More about condition grades
