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.

Vintage reference photograph from the set of the 1933 film. A rare glimpse behind the scenes of a film that was a triumph of design, practical effects, and cinematography. The crew and the natives of Skull Island prepare for one of the film's most memorable scenes: Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) being brought to the altar of Kong, while Cooper, cinematographers and crew capture the shot on rolling mounts and platforms in the foreground. A few year later the "great wall" in this image, a truly cost-effective prop, would come crashing down in flames during the burning of Atlanta in "Gone with the Wind." Set on Skull Island and in New York City. 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine. National Film Registry. Ebert II. Godard, Histoire(s) du cinema. McPadden, Heavy Metal Movies.

Screenplay archive for the 1932 film. Archive consists of a Revised Final script and a typescript rewrite of the film's opening sequence onboard a yacht. The rewrite credits an unknown screenwriter named "Eliscu." Based on the Richard Connell short story first published in "Colliers" in 1924. A rare set of scripts for a groundbreaking film. A deranged millionaire, living on an island, arranges for a yacht to be shipwrecked on his shores, whereupon he arranges for the survivors to be hunted. Decades ahead of its time, and almost iconoclastic in the cynicism of its subtext, Pichel and Schoedsack used ideas from their film "Gow the Headhunter (1931), and predicted their classic "King Kong" (1933), and dozens of other films that would follow using a theme of man being the hunted rather than the hunter. Revised Final script: Tan titled wrappers, noted as REVISED FINAL SCRIPT on the front wrapper, rubber-stamped PLEASE RETURN TO STORY DEPT. / RKO STUDIOS, Inc. / WEST COAST," dated May 13, 1932, with credits for story writer Conell and screenwriter Creelman.
