White Gorilla and The Bride and the Beast

Here's one for the oddball file, racist gorillas. A white gorilla is snubbed by black gorillas because of his color. Cut off from his tribe he becomes lonely and angry. After troubling hunters and natives, the white gorilla fights the king of the black gorillas while we are told by a narrator that the fate of Africa hangs in the balance. The movie was created by editing some 1947 acting into footage from a 1927 silent serial, Perils of the Jungle. Wow!

In the other half of this twin bill, The Bride and the Beast, lovers Laura and Dan are married, but it turns out Laura is more interested in Dan's gorilla. Isn't that always the case? Through hypnosis she learns she a reincarnated queen of the gorillas. Mayhem ensues.

Son Of Kong

King Kong was such a success a sequel was rushed out. Carl Denham returns to the infamous Skull Island where he discovered the first Big Ape and guess what, there's another one. This film isn't as good as the original, but it is not without some merit. Check it out if you can find it.

Seagrams and Dupree

King Kong (1933)

It's a classic, what more can really be said? The film was a monumental achievement at the time of its production and is still inspiring film makers to this day. The story is a simple one, I mean come on, who doesn't love a story about a girl and her monkey. (I know, technically Kong's an ape). Fay Wray made a lasting impression as the bride of The Big Ape and we all hated to see the big guy gunned down at the end. Poor confused bastard just wanted a better view of the Big Apple.
