The Ritz Brothers in the Gorilla (1939)

Gorilla (1939) je komedija-skrivnost “B” film starring The Ritz Brothers, Joseph Calleia, Bela Lugosi in Lionell Atwill. Film je produciral Twentieth-Century Fox, preden zaprete odločitev “B” filmi, the first film on a double bill.

The Ritz Brothers so bili dejavni med 1925 in 1960, ko Al Ritz najstarejši brat umrl. Brata, ki 16 filmi, all pretty much “B” filmi, 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.

V tem filmu, the Ritz Brothers play detectives, who have been called into protect a businessman threatened by “Gorilla”. 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. Film teče okoli 65 min.

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. Gorilla is the only Ritz Brothers offering that I have found so far.
