Description

FORBIDDEN ADVENTURE [ANGKOR] (1935; 1937 US-release)
Vintage original 27 x 41" (68 x 105 cm.) one sheet poster, USA. This is the US-release poster for the 1935 UK exploitation film
Angkor
. The film was a documentary in the "Mondo" style and initially consisted of a basic travelogue of footage shot in Cambodia, supposedly during World War I, telling the story of the sacred monkeys. The footage was actually stock footage which the filmmakers spiced up by traveling to Los Angeles and hiring prostitutes from the well-known Selma Street brothel to cavort topless, the footage of which was then inserted (they were menaced by a gorilla in the "story.") Later U.S. reissues of the film used the titles
Forbidden Adventure in Angkor
and
The Gorilla Woman
.
One of the finest posters in this tradition. On linen, VERY GOOD-FINE.
