Film 144 of the year so far: THE GORILLA, 1939. Summary: A millionaire's family in a spooky mansion is terrorised by a serial killer... who may or may not actually be a gorilla... that bit isn't clear. I've seen a couple of films this year which featured the Ritz Brothers in supporting roles. I quickly grew to loathe the Ritz Brothers. Inspired by masochistic curiosity, I chose to watch a Ritz Bros feature. I was surprised by the relative gentleness of the humour - it's more zany than madcap or knockabout; and even more surprised to find that, although the brothers are rarely funny, and rarely entertaining, they're nowhere near as insufferable as I was expecting. This isn't a good film, but with better comics in the lead roles it might have been. Quality 5/10 Entertainment 5/10.
