About This Item
Culver City, CA: RKO Radio Pictures, 1949. Vintage reference photograph from the 1949 film, showing the titular gorilla facing off against a man on a rearing horse. Printed mimeo snipe and RKO Radio Pictures stamp on the verso.
From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler.
A stop-motion monster fantasy film created in the wake of the massive success of Radio Pictures' "King Kong" (1933), even using the same director-screenwriter-producer team. A young woman heads to Hollywood with her pet gorilla named Joseph, hoping to make enough money to save her ranch home in Africa. When a seedy nightclub entrepreneur proposes the gorilla be used as part of his nightclub's entertainment, it seems like an easy way to make money-but Joe is miserable, as he is mistreated and unhappy in America. Received an Academy Award in 1950 for Best Special Effects.
Set in Hollywood.
10 x 8 inches. About Very Good plus, with short closed tears at the edges and creases at the corners.
