dave s The Gorilla is a disaster from the start, thanks, for the most part, to the bug-eyed Ritz Brothers, never to be confused with the far superior Marx Brothers and Three Stooges. The plot is incomprehensible, the acting is ridiculous, the intended scares fall flat, and none of the jokes work. Clearly, not funny and not scary is a deadly combination for a film that is presumably meant to be a horror comedy. After watching, it is hard to believe that the running time on this was only 66 minutes. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I Love this movie...campy horror ...well is it really a horror...more suspense! The Ritz Brothers are a HoOT...very popular at the time ...Please remember this movie was released in 1939... Ahhh what a time that must of been...lastly...the Real Dracula stars also...well not as Dracula .... ?? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A wealthy man hires three cowardly detectives (the Ritz Brothers) to protect him from a killer known as the Gorilla (who may be an actual gorilla). The Ritz Brothers are a second-rate comedy team, but this old dark house comedy is light and busy enough to provide some small entertainment. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable Enough Romp--A great little slapstick knock about!! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A wealthy insurance broker is threatened and hires a trio of whacky private detectives to protect him. A weak early spoof with some curious casting choices but some elements that qualify The Gorilla as an early guilty pleasure. However, the comedy of The Ritz Brothers remains highly outdated and dull. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The Ritz Brothers are comedic and you can't help but compare them to the 3 Stooges! Bela Lugosi also stars in a small role as the butler! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
