Brute Man, The (Universal, 1946). One Sheet (27  X 41 )
Brute Man, The (Universal, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41"). A 1913 picture from a high school yearbook confirms that Rondo Hatton (1894-1946) at one time was a handsome, athletic young man whose life would be cut short by the disfiguring disease acromegaly. It was during his tour of France during World War I that Hatton was exposed to chemical warfare which attacked his pituitary glands, eventually causing abnormal skeletal growth in the face, hands and feet. He starred in the Sherlock Holmes film "Pearl of Death" as the Creeper, but it was only in this film that the Creeper was the star. Unfortunately, Hatton died two months before the release of this film.Very Fine. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder.
