With a name like "Bride of the Gorilla" you can't expect much. I didn't. I only watched it because I read that Barbara Payton fell so far from grace she had to take a role in "Bride of the Gorilla," so I just had to see how bad the movie was. And oh yeah, it was free.
"Bride of the Gorilla" was as bad as it sounds. The cinematic quality was poor and the acting was abysmal. Even Raymond Burr, an established veteran actor by this point, was off his game.
The movie takes place in the Amazon forest. Barney Chavez (Raymond Burr) works for a wealthy old man named Klaas Van Gelder (Paul Cavanagh) and he's in love with Van Gelder's wife, Dina (Barbara Payton). There's another girl in the picture, Larina (Carol Varga). Barney broke her heart which led her grandmother to put a curse on him making him imagine that he was a gorilla.
The movie is barely over an hour long, so there's not much to be garnered from it. It's too bad that Barbara and Raymond even had to take such roles, but I guess work is work.
Free on Tubi.
