Ape: Monster of the Movies, by David Annan. 1975 hardcover. 95 pages, excellent condition.
Man has come a long way from his earliest predecessor, the Ape, yet his dreams are still haunted by nightmares of giant gorillas plundering, smashing, and destroying. Through 200 stills, full color poster reproductions, line drawings, and an intensely researched text, this fascinating volume studies the mass cinema ape fantasies from pre-history to the Planet of the Apes. It delves deeply into the most famous ape of all – King Kong – and into the split between his nature and man’s. By studying these monster films, an exciting cinematic history illuminates that dark place where the beast still snarls in man.
