Description:
The time is the 1950s, and the hottest comedy act in Hollywood is Martin and Lewis. Taking full advantage of the trend, Dean Martin look-alike Duke Mitchell and his partner, Jerry Lewis clone Sammy Petrillo, play a pair of nightclub performers who fall out of a plane and find themselves stranded on a jungle island. They discover Bela Lugosi, who is experimenting with a serum that turns people into gorillas! Also included: Interview with star Sammy Petrillo.

Sammy is often deemed a cult hero for his work in this film. While he is a funny man, he is far from being a hero. He left his wife and four small children in 1969. They came home to find that he had moved back to New York. He did at least leave them with a dollar. I know, I was 7 years old at the time. I'm one of the 4 sons he left. The oldest. Our last names are slightly different as he changed his to try to benefit from the current head of the musicians union at the time; who bore the last name ... Read More

This movie was basically a vehicle for Sammy Petrillo and Duke Mitchell, who were kind of a low-rent Martin & Lewis. Sammy had, in fact, appeared on a Dean & Jerry TV show as Jerry's infant son. He was 17 at the time this movie was made and shamelessly imitates Lewis in it, but he does it very well! He looks amazingly like him and although his voice gets grating when he yells (which he spends a lot of the movie doing), his imitation is first rate.
This movie was obviously knocked off ... Read More

All the black and white comedy teams have one thing in common, they have all been in movies or shorts with a guy in a gorilla suit; The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, Mitchell and Petrillo, ........ what you have never heard of Mitchell and Petrillo? Then my friend you have been fortunate enough to have never seen "Bela Legosi meets a Brooklyn Gorilla"! Folks, this movie is bad, bad, bad.
We'll start off with Duke Mitchell. Well he wears his shirt like a flaming homosexual ... Read More

This film is not as bad as the title would make it seem.
Duke Mitchell & Sammy Petrillo are the poor man's Martin and Lewis.
Petrillo's "humor" makes Jerry Lewis appear understated in comparison and I'm sure Dino never felt threatened by Duke.
Bela Lugosi turns in his usual credible mad scientist performance.
Charlita plays the love interest and is smokin' HOT, scantily attired in her best South Sea togs.
The video and audio quality are very good as was the print used for the ... Read More

This is a stunning film in both concept an execution. The premise is simple: two talentless hacks...I mean...entertainers, parachute onto a primitive island, Cola-Cola. There they meet crazy natives, beautiful girls, and an evil genius in a castle. Mayhem ensues, comedy erupts, the entertainers sing, the natives dance, and Bela Lugosi turns Duke Mitchell into a gorilla. Nefarious schemes are hatched, romance rears its ugly head, and slapstick is in vogue. Lugosi gets his comeuppance and love conquers all. The ... Read More
