Review of The Gorilla

The Gorilla (1939)
5/10
Difficult Film to Enjoy
27 May 2007
It was hard for me to believe that Darryl F. Zanuck was the executive in charge of Production of this way out murder mystery with the Ritz Brothers. Allan Dwan was the producer of "The Gorilla" who had produced over four-hundred films and mostly B Films with some great films later in his career. Lionel Atwill is threatened by a Serial Killer called the Gorilla and he hires a detective agency operated by the Ritz Brothers who made this film a complete disaster. Anita Louise was a great actress and the only actress who was outstanding having to put up with a crazy cast of actors. I almost forgot Bela Lugosi who added his charm to this film after making a great success of his Dracula Film. Do not recommend viewing this film, it is Horrible.
