"We Get Wise to Him. That's Our Strength: " A Face in the Crowd (1957)
Based on the 1955 short story by Bud Schulberg, “Your Arkansas Traveler,” Elia Kazan’s A Face in the Crowd (1957) is the cautionary tale o...

The robots of the 1950s cinema were generally imposing, huge, terrifying, and of humanoid build. If you encountered these metal men,... -
Last year at around this time (or a month earlier, perhaps), I posted galleries of cinematic and TV spaceships from the 1970s, 1980s, 1...
Gonna go out on a limb and say Number 4 is from the "Hatred Unto Death" episode from Night Gallery.
ReplyDelete1.) Magilla Gorilla
ReplyDelete7.) Cha-Ka from Land of the Lost
12.) Grape Ape
17: Professor Bobo: Mystery Science Theater 3000
ReplyDelete5 is Roddy McDowall on the Planet of the Apes series
ReplyDelete10 is Lancelot Link
15 is the Simpsons version of POTA--The Broadway Musical, with Dr. Zaius.
Wow, everyone is doing a great job here identifying these simians in the Planet of the Ape-a-thon edition of Cult TV Faces of.
ReplyDeleteJose, you really identified an obscure one there. Incredible. But # 4 is indeed from Rod Serling's Night Gallery, "Hatred Unto Death." Wow!
woodchuckgod: You picked off three gallery images perfectly, identifying Magilla Gorilla (#1), Cha-Ka from Land of the Lost (#7) and Graape Ape (#12). Well done, my friend!
Kevin -- yes! Your recognized Kevin Murphy as Professor Bobo in MST3K, from the episode "Revenge of the Creature." Excellent job!
Hugh, you also did a fantastic job here. #5 is indeed Roddy McDowall from the Planet of the Apes series of 1974 (and the episode "Escape from Tomorrow.") #15 is from the Simpsons parody of Planet of the Apes: "Stop the Planet of the Apes, I want to Get off..." but #10 is not Lancelot Link. Great guess, however.
Splendid job everybody! the Lawgiver would be proud.
Warmest regards to all,
John

ReplyDeleteMan, those were two toughies! Fantastic job with the gallery identifications. #10 is indeed Adam from Ark II and #14 is from Buck Rogers, the episode "Happy Birthday, Buck."
Great job!

I would say 9 was from Space 1999 and is Maya !!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteYep, # 9 is from Space:1999 ("The Lambda Factor") and is indeed Maya, transformed into a gorilla!
Great job!
best,
JKM
Great puzzle theme. Many neat pictures.
ReplyDelete#13 reminds me of the old American Tourister luggage commercials from the 70s with gorillas...which I think could have been inspired by the Planet of the Apes series. I don't think that's what it is, however.
Apes rule!

13. The ape from Trading Places
