Bride of the Gorilla is one of my guilty pleasure movies. It's actually pretty good. Barbra Payton was a beautiful and capable actress, but her personal life overshadowed any chance she had to make the A list. Raymond Burr was a handsome man and always pulls it off in anything he does. With a few tweaks this film could have been a classic and not just a cult classic! The way they churned 'em out in the old days, I guess there just wasn't the time or the money.
"What is it?" "The jungle." "Yes, yes. What about it?" "It's just that...well, we booked a beach vacation." "Close the window then!" "The brochure offered whale watching tours..." "Close it! Close it!" "...and snorkeling." *a giraffe runs by*
When Perry Mason tries to channel Victor Mature, side effects may include auditory hallucinations, profuse sweating, heightened anxiety, heart palpitations, and an overwhelming desire to run off into the jungle.
Unfairly or not, movies like "Bride of the Gorilla", "I Married a Monkey" and "My Wife the Aardvark" are often blamed for the sudden spike in people becoming romantically involved with wild animals that occurred around the same time.
It's true, you can't go into the jungle at night. Why? Because the elephants go parachuting then. Why are crocodiles flat? Because they went into the jungle at night. 🤪
