9a054 KIDNAPPING GORILLAS 1sh R1940s great art of shocked ape holding topless white woman, rare!

An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41 1/4" [71 x 105 cm]) (Learn More)

Kidnapping Gorillas, the 1934 Ben Burbridge Africa wildlife animal documentary. Note that this film was released under several titles over the years, and is surely connected to the 1930 film Ingagi (perhaps even featuring footage from that film) and the 1937 film Love Life of a Gorilla (which may feature footage from this film). Information gathered from newspapers ads indicates that Kidnapping Gorillas was re-released in the 1940s but information about the film is difficult to find, and that is not helped by the fact that apparently Love Life of a Gorilla was also released as Kidnapping Gorillas at some point. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned this 1940s re-release one-sheet, which measures 28" x 41 1/4" [71 x 105 cm], once before, and that example sold for $319!

Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never machine folded, but there are a few light creases scattered in the poster. There are some faint diagonal creases in the top right corner and small paper loss near the bottom of the left blank border. Otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition!
