One of my Favorite movies of all time. Hilarious yet suspenseful. Awsome! 5 Higgins 2005-06-05 15:46:08 2005-06-05 15:48:31 This is another one of the Bela movies. Sheesh, I never knew the Bela starred in so many different movies. I always thought of him as the Dracula Guy. Anyway you are gonna love this movie and in this delightful movie with all the hidden panel's in the walls and suspense binding up ones back spring the Bela will really surprise you in the roll he plays in this movie. Practically an all star cast here and well worth the time to download it. It has all the thrills and chills of yesteryear. This movie kinda brings back memories of my days as an innocent adulterant or was it adolescent? Ha, if you can believe that one.

Really Great. 5 kareneliot 2005-12-06 12:51:26 2005-12-06 12:51:26 Great movie for 10 years old males. The Gorilla 2 b11761500s 2006-01-18 19:55:41 2006-01-18 19:55:41 "Great movie for 10 year old males" comments a previous reviewer. And I'd have to agree. It IS, It's also a great movie fot 10 year old females and 10 year old undecideds, for that matter. AND it's a great movie for anyone OF ANY AGE who enjoys a good laugh. That scene where Patsy Kelly, who was one of the great female comedians of the 20th Century is reading ROMEO AND JULIET and the gorilla's paw reaches in and pins a note on her...I'm chuckling again just thinking about it. Of course, I know what the previous reviewer meant...THE RITZ BROTHERS. Their humor is definitly of the slapstick variety and will remind you a good deal of THE THREE STOOGES. (And a greater compliment could not be paid them). Jimmy (Garrity), Harry (Harrigan) and Al(Mulligan) really WERE brothers, incidentally. I mention that because it wasn't ALWAYS the case in those old acts. Bela Lugosi plays a delightfully strange butler (the occasional invisibity and habit of passing through locked doors and walls without trouble is spoofing his portrayal of Chandu the Magician in the popular serial just a couple of years earlier). Patsy Kelly, I have already mentioned, but you can see her in another movie here on the archives:TOPPER RETURNS. About Anita Louise, this attractive blue-eyed blonde continued acting until 1970 (her last role being on TV's THE MOD SQUAD---the ORIGINAL ONE). Another point of interest to film fans is that she was one of that bevy of Hollywood beauties who tested for (but didn't get) what was billed as the "role of the century" that of Scarlett O'Hara in GONE WITH THE WIND. But now we come to an old friend of horror fans: Mr. Lionel Atwill. One of the three actors to play Professor Moriarty during the Rathbone/Bruce series (in SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SECRET WEAPON--which you can download from the archive) he also starred with Fay Wray in THE VAMPIRE BAT and MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM(also available here). He is also in another of my favorite movies this time with another alumnus of the Moriarty role George Zucco, in 1945's FOG ISLAND...not, alas, available here. Producer's Releasing Corporation which employed him towards the end of his life, never paid very much to any of their talent so the only reason anyone worked for them was because they couldn't get work anywhere else but Mr. Atwill, like Messrs Lugosi and Zucco, always gave his best. Mr. Atwill died of pneumonia in 1946 while working on a serial LOST CITY OF THE JUNGLE (which also starred Keye Luke) for Universal. ANYWAY...MOST of you won't regret downloading this one. It's bushels of fun. GORILLA MY DREAMS Shadows_Girl 2007-08-26 07:44:31 2007-08-26 07:44:31 4 Hardly a Horror film, more of a comedy. A good film with the Ritz Brothers playing stupid slapstick detectives. It's your typical wealthy manor with secret passages and the wealthy father whose life is in danger, the beautiful daughter love interest who gets kidnapped, the hero-fiance, and the secret G-man detective hanging around. The story is the same old, same old, "wealthy mans' life is threatened", but it's funny with the slapstick of the Ritz bros, the frenzy of the maid, and the over-the-top creepiness that Bela Lugosi really has fun with. An entertaining film.

It is a great movie! Bela Lugosi: " Kitty what is all this racket!" Great Film! rhoop 2008-09-30 16:39:48 2008-09-30 16:39:48 5 If you like old films, this is a good one. Just plain fun. Fun Film sylpolo 2009-08-03 17:58:20 2009-08-03 17:58:20 5 It is hard to believe when watching this film that millions of people loved THE RITZ BROTHERS. All but forgotten now, they were as popular if not more so than the Marx Brothers. Yet even in the last few films of the Marx Brothers there would be a few laughs. This film is empty. It isn't funny, I don't understand how they were so popular. In their time they were also loved and hated so I guess I'd be in the hated camp. Bela Lugosi is in it, and a guy in a ape suit. So I'll give a star for each of those factors. But the Ritz Brothers? No thanks. Maybe I'm missing something.... DJ Psychomike 2009-09-12 13:41:39 2009-09-12 13:41:39 2 10 3.90
