Date Sold 7/4/2023Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Edgar Allan Poe's Murders in the Rue Morgue, the 1932 Robert Florey Universal crime horror mystery thriller ("The Super Shocker"; "Based on the Edgar Allan Poe's Murders in the Rue Morgue"; set in Paris) starring Bela Lugosi (billed as "Dracula himself"; as Dr. Mirakle), Sidney Fox (billed as "Star of 'Strictly Dishonorable'"), Leon Ames (billed as "Leon Waycoff"), Bert Roach, Brandon Hurst, Noble Johnson (as Janos, The Black One), D'arcy Corrigan, Arlene Francis, Iron Eyes Cody, Joe Bonomo (famous early strongman, as one of the gorillas, and he also played a gorilla in 1929's "King of the Kongo"!), and Charles Gemora (as Erik the Gorilla; and amazingly, he reprised this role when the movie was remade by Warner Bros in 1954, 22 years later!). Note that this movie is considered to have been the consolation prize for Florey and Lugosi after they were replaced as director and star on "Frankenstein" by Universal. Note that starting in 1929 and continuing into the 1940s, Charles Gemora played gorillas in many movies, likely because he owned a gorilla suit, and could do a somewhat convincing job portraying a gorilla. Just a few years later, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan would also start playing gorillas, and no doubt they competed for roles in every movie requiring a gorilla!

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a truly incredible group of 15 horror stills we were just consigned, which we are auctioning in 15 separate auctions! They were assembled by a very longtime collector in the 1960s, and he has kept them all these years! Several of them are truly "as good as it gets", and they are all first release stills, including ones from Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and more! This is an incredible opportunity to purchase one or more of these wonderful stills, and it may be many years before we ever offer some or any of them again! Condition: very good. There is a piece of brown paper tape on the back of each corner, but it was not put there for a restoration purpose. A thin sliver of the bottom left blank corner was trimmed off. Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
