Our expert's notes

One-Sheet (27" x 41")
Fine- on Linen
Universal International, 1951

It is rumored that President Reagan screened this film for his staff and guests at Camp David in the early 1980s. It is probably one of the former president's more well-known films, as it has often been parodied and punned as the future president co-starred with a Chimpanzee. Posters from the title have been collectible for years.

An example of a piece that would look terrific re-restored, this poster has had only minimal work. Issues include a large piece missing from the upper left corner, scattered pinholes and chips in the borders, paper loss in the Diana Lynn credit and to the right, and the upper left corner, extending into the artwork. The poster also has areas that are lifting from the linen.

Ronald Reagan formed a double act with a mischievous chimpanzee (Tamba) for this B-movie comedy, in which a professor of psychology attempts to prove that nurture is more powerful than nature by trying to raise a chimp as a human child.

Estimate: $500 - 1,000
