eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result s121 BRUTE MAN #3 movie lobby card '46 Rondo Hatton close up! Date Sold 7/19/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Brute Man, the 1946 Jean Yarbrough horror thriller ("Towering NEW terror! No woman safe from his crushing arms..."; "Original Story by Dwight V. Babcock") starring Tom Neal, Jane Adams, Jan Wiley, Peter Whitney, Donald MacBride, and Rondo Hatton (in the title role "as The Brute Man"). 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. He starred in this movie, which was also produced by Universal, but when he passed away before it was released, Universal was embarrassed to be releasing it, and they sold the rights to PRC, a much smaller studio, which released the movie (apparently the PRC owners were not that embarrassed). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the left half of the bottom border was tattered and someone put masking tape on the back of that border to reinforce it (it appears they then touched up that border). Similarly, there are three pieces of tape on the back of some of the top border, and those areas have also had restoration. There is tape covering the FRONT of the last 4" on the right end of the top border. Other than the above defects, the card is in pretty good condition! NOTE: In this case, the #3 in the title of the sale is not the number of the lobby card. Because we are selling more than one lobby card from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate the different sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, #3, etc..". Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
