White Pongo

Actors: Richard Fraser, Maris Wrixon, Lionel Royce, Al Eben, Gordon Richards, Michael Dyne,  George Lloyd, Larry Steers, Milton Kibbee
Rating: 0 out of 10, Oh. My. God. I’ve seen some pretty bad movies over the past couple weeks in my trek through a series of bad sci fi “classics” but this was significantly worse than the worst of the nightmares I’ve been exposed to so far. How could anyone have ever thought this was entertaining? The three stooges’ gorilla suits are back in play as a group of class conscious Brits try to find the one wearing a white gorilla suit which they think is the missing link. A good 85% of the movie involves watching the group walk or canoe through the jungle while the white gorilla watches from the same set of bushes. He develops a crush on the eye candy along for the ride and predictably kidnaps her. Before any true romance can blossom the whole group is involved in a nefarious plot by the lone German is exposed (this was made in 1945 after all). Excruciatingly bad on so many levels

MVP: Richard Fraser as Geoffrey Bishop
