Gorilla (1939)
Gorilla (1939) is a comedy-mystery “B” filem (link affiliate) starring the Ritz Brothers, Joseph Calleia, Bela Lugosi dan Lionell Atwill. Filem ini dihasilkan oleh Twentieth-Century Fox sebelum mereka berhenti membuat “B” filem-filem, the first film on a double bill.
The Ritz Brothers aktif antara 1925 dan tahun 1960-an, when Al Ritz the oldest brother passed away. The brothers made 16 filem-filem, all “B” filem-filem, 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.
Still from The Gorilla (1939)
Dalam filem ini, 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. Filem ini berlangsung kira-kira 65 minit.
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.
