Οι Αδερφοί Ριτς στον Γορίλα (1939)

Ο γορίλλας (1939) είναι μια κωμωδία-μυστήριο “B” ταινία με πρωταγωνιστή το Ritz Brothers, Joseph Calleia, Bela Lugosi και Lionell Atwill. Η ταινία παρήχθη από Twentieth-Century Fox πριν σταματήσουν τη λήψη “B” ταινίες, the first film on a double bill.

Οι Ritz Brothers ήταν ενεργό μεταξύ 1925 και τη δεκαετία του 1960, when Al Ritz the oldest brother passed away. The brothers made 16 ταινίες, all pretty much “B” ταινίες, in the 1930s and early 1940s. After they quit making films, the brothers continued performing on stage and television. Al had a heart attack in 1965. While the remaining two brothers continued performing occasionally, it was said they never recovered from Al’s death.

Σε αυτή την ταινία, the Ritz Brothers play detectives, who have been called into protect a businessman threatened by “Ο γορίλλας”. The gorilla is a mysterious criminal, who may or may not be controlling an actual ape. “B” film staples Lionel Atwill plays the businessman, Bela Lugosi plays the butler and Joseph Calleia portrays an insurance investigator. Η ταινία διαρκεί περίπου 65 πρακτικά.

My favorite Ritz Brothers film is Kentucky Moonshine (1938). In that film, the Ritz Brothers play performers trying to get on the radio by imitating hillbillies on a country program. Ο γορίλλας is the only Ritz Brothers offering that I have found so far.
