די גאָריללאַ (1939)
די גאָריללאַ (1939) is a comedy-mystery “ב” פילם (affiliate link) starring the Ritz Brothers, יוסף קאַללעיאַ, בעלאַ לוגאָסי און ליאָנעלל אַטווילל. דעם פילם איז געשאפן דורך טווענטיעטה-יאָרהונדערט פאָקס איידער זיי פאַרלאָזן געמאכט “ב” פילמס, the first film on a double bill.
די ריץ בראָטהערס זענען אַקטיוו צווישן 1925 און די 1960 ס, when Al Ritz the oldest brother passed away. The brothers made 16 פילמס, all “ב” פילמס, 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)
אין דעם פילם, the Ritz Brothers play detectives, who have been called into protect a businessman threatened by “די גאָריללאַ”. The gorilla is a mysterious criminal, who may or may not be controlling an actual ape. “ב” film staples Lionel Atwill plays the businessman, Bela Lugosi plays the butler and Joseph Calleia portrays an insurance investigator. דעם פילם לויפט וועגן 65 מינוט.
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. די גאָריללאַ is the only Ritz Brothers offering that I have found so far.
