An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded French Large Movie Poster (31x47; measures 31 1/2" x 46 3/4" [80 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) The Gorilla, the 1939 Allan Dwan detective mystery horror screwball comedy ("Based on the play by Ralph Spence"; about a wealthy man who is being threatened by a criminal known as "The Gorilla", and he hires three detectives to investigate, and things get really complicated when a real escaped gorilla shows up on the premises) starring The Ritz Brothers (Jimmy Ritz, Harry Ritz, and Al Ritz), Anita Louise, Patsy Kelly, Lionel Atwill, Bela Lugosi, Joseph Calleia, Edward Norris, Wally Vernon, and Art Miles (in the title role as the gorilla; he played a few gorillas over the years, which was only slightly better than the rest of his career, which was almost all uncredited roles). Note that poor Bela Lugosi's star had fallen quite a bit since his rise to fame in 1931 in Dracula. The same year this movie was made, he had a great role as Ygor in "Son of Frankenstein", but in this movie (made for 20th Century-Fox), he was seventh billed!

Artist: Boris Grinsson Important Added Info: UPDATED 02/24/2012: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this poster is from a 1940s re-release and NOT the 1939 first release as we initially listed.
