Editorial Review:
Description:
Excitement and suspense abound in this rousing jungle thriller starring legendary Lon Chaney, Jr. (The Wolf Man), Raymond Burr (TV's "Perry Mason"), and tabloid sex goddess Barbara Payton as a seductive blonde bombshell. She marries a wealthy plantation owner in the South American jungle, where strange, hideous experiments are underway using ancient jungle curses and supernatural forces summoned from beyond!

This film was one big disappointment. Trading standards ought to be informed regarding the lurid cover art. Not only was Barbara never wearing such a skimpy two piece outfit as shown but even the scene where the gorilla carries her off (and not a moment too soon I might add) but could hardly been seen because of the undergrowth and tree branches. There was far too much stock footage of tigers and monkeys and a few snakes(even killing Barbara s husband off screen) Then there was Barbara dancing, Barbara ... Read More

BRIDE OF THE GORILLA is considerably more interesting for its off-screen details than it is for itself--and most notably so because it was written and directed by Curt Siodmak.
Siodmak (1902-2000) was a well-known writer in the Berlin film industry who fled Nazi Germany for Hollywood in 1937 and whose screenplay was the driving force behind Universal Studio's 1941 THE WOLFMAN. Although the film was a great success, Siodmak was not enthusiastic about the changes Universal made in the script ... Read More

If you ever wondered what Raymond Burr did before Perry Mason, this is your film: it is a masterpiece of the second rate, with a mysterious jungle with its own legends, murder, ill-fated love, and cosmic vengeance. Looked at in a certain way, it is so bad it is really really good. The acting is overwrought, but surprisingly strong. I will not recapitulate the plot, as that would spoil it in my opinion.
This is yet another one of those wonderful b-films we used to watch after school, totally ... Read More

For a certain kind of person, and I'm one, this is a film you have to see. First there's the lurid title. Second, Lon Chaney Jr. is in it, and for many fans of classic horror films that makes this an automatic must-see. Third, Curt Siodmak is writer and director, and this guy commands respect: after all, he wrote The Wolf Man, Donovan's Brain, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, I Walked With a Zombie, The Beast With Five Fingers...
Unfortunately, though, this movie is pretty pedestrian. It is rather ... Read More

I'm not sure what it was, but when I first saw this film on TV in the early 1960's I was prepared to like it. At that time I was hooked on steamy studio jungle sets & lots of stock footage. All the local TV stations were playing Tarzan, Jungle Jim and Bomba movies in some sort of JUNGLE LARRY(?)THEATER type program. It was great & all the kids loved it!
Now BRIDE OF THE GORILLA comes along with much of the same mix but with a more adult/slanted agenda. Yes, the familar stock footage was there, the fear of ... Read More
