Rating: 2 out of 10, My forage through
bad cinema continued with this interestingly titled drama. The only gorilla in
the film as an imagined one is a highly drugged villain’s mind. Somehow and
against all odds this film was pretty well acted and featured none other than
Perry Mason himself as a young, buff Lothario trying to win the affections of
his boss’ knock out , platinum blonde wife. Since he was also delving into the local
girls this doesn’t sit well with the resident purveyor of curses and Perry is
soon running out into the jungle at night instead of servicing his new bride.
Lon Chaney, who should know something about hunting down were-animals, is along
as a plodding Brazilian constable. Sublimely ridiculous and so weird to hear
that respected Raymond Burr voice uttering this nonsense.
MVP: Burr as Chavez, the phantom gorilla
