Movie Review: The Ape (1940)

Here it is: possibly the most ridiculously plotted film in history. It involves a deranged small town doctor, an escaped circus gorilla, and…polio. There’s really no describing it adequately, especially since the editor seems to have been drunk, so it’s quite difficult to follow what’s going on at key points. Boris Karloff is in fine form, as usual, and the monkey suit is particularly hilarious. Great and gloriously cheesy stuff.

Hitch up your car here!

Cool little track, although I never win here.

The clubhouse. Too rich for my blood!

Apartments encroaching. It’s days are numbered most likely, so I enjoy the place while I can.
