THE MONSTER MAKER

Italian 2-Fogli (39" x 55")
Fine+ Folded; Artwork by Rinaldo Geleng
Ente Nazionale Industrie Cinematografiche, 1946

The artwork for this first Post-War release poster is by Rinaldo Geleng. It displays enlarged border pinholes with edge wear and small creases in the borders, fold wear with crimping, scattered tape stains in the border with corresponding tape on the verso, light paper loss and some separation, and a light horizontal crease in the upper border. The graphics are very impressive on this large format poster.

J. Carrol Naish portrays the villainous Dr. Igor Markoff, who covets the daughter of concert pianist Anthony Lawrence. Markoff employs a serum that induces acromegaly, a disorder characterized by the enlargement of bones in the face, feet, and hands, to coerce Lawrence into consenting to his daughter's marriage.
