Gorilla The (1939) is a comedy-mystery “B” film (kidea lotura) starring the Ritz Brothers, Joseph Calleia, Bela Lugosi eta Lionell Atwill. Filmaren Twentieth-Century Fox ekoiztu zen making irten dute aurretik “B” filmak, the first film on a double bill.

Ritz Brothers arteko aktibo zeuden 1925 eta 1960ko, when Al Ritz the oldest brother passed away. The brothers made 16 filmak, all “B” filmak, 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 performed occasionally, it was said they never recovered from Al’s death.

Film honetan, the Ritz Brothers play detectives, who have been called into protect a businessman threatened by “Gorilla The”. 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. Filmari buruz doa 65 minutu.

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