This review is for “Gorilla at Colossal”, the reason I bought this disc. In 1954, the 3-D craze was at its’ peak–especially with panic films and this included the gorilla movie as panic factor. 1954 saw “Phantom of the Rue Morgue” and “Gorilla at Tremendous” pawing their intention into theaters in 3-D and Technicolor, with better than average budgets. “Gorilla at Stout” is area in a seedy carnival around a lurid sideshow called “The Garden of Harmful” where comely trapeze star Mlle. LaVerne ( a young and graceful Anne Bancroft paying her starlet dues) swings seductively over a gorilla pit where mankiller ape Goliath reaches for her, threatening to yank her down at any moment. LaVerne’s haunted and hot-tempered husband (a stoic Raymond Burr) jealously oversees her act and LaVerne. He also manages the carnival. Two problematic things occur: a hunky current stuntman for LaVerne ( a young, hunky Cameron Mitchell) for a perilous recent thrill in her act and a brutal kill. The slay shuts the carnival down and brings in a hardnosed cop (Lee J. Cobb) . Everyone suspects Goliath and his horrible trainer when another execute occurs. But there’s more than meets the view in the “Garden of Obnoxious”. This is a well made, delicious thriller with two gorillas. One a stunt man in a unpleasant gorilla suit and the other being Goliath. The stunt man is supposed to step in at key moments in LaVerne’s act when the ape gets too end to thrill the audience. The carnival atmosphere is bright, lurid and gleaming. The acting is above par as is the cast—a young Lee Marvin has a comedy relief role as a insensible lanky cop. The 3-D effects are noticable with Goliath and the dizzying carnival rides. And there’s a astonishing scene where Goliath goes on a rampage through the deserted carnival one night inadvertantly setting off the rides, causing the whole park to reach alive like a stunned fairgrounds. Later, he reaches through a window for a screaming Bancroft as she lies seductively clad in a sexy negligee. The cheesecake factor with Bancroft is rampant throughout. This IS a beauty and the beast myth afterall but one with a twist—it’s also a slay mystery. Who’s committing the murders Goliath or someone in the stunt suit? And will Goliath finally have at the teasing seductress LaVerne? Sight this for cheesy but fun 50’s thrills and see as soon-to-be-stars pay their dues in a gorilla movie. “Gorilla at Titanic” is a worthy time capsule from the 3-D 50’s complete with a better than average cast, in lovely Technicolor and preserved in a nice print on this disc. Worth owning for ancient Hollywood star watchers. Appreciate. And don’t manufacture Goliath indignant….

mystery on Monster Island is so well preserved that it looks like it was
just recently made. Saw this movie as a kid, and one of the characters is
as monotonous as i remember him…but was well worth seeing this movie again.
Nice to peruse Peter Cushing again…Savor
