The Bride The Beast The White Gorilla

BRIDE AND THE BEAST: At the height of the 1950s fad for reincarnation stories, the legendarily loopy Edward D. Wood Jr. wrote this high-camp jungle-horror anti-classic. Newlywed bride Charlotte Austin is more interested in the gorilla caged in her big-game-hunter/husband's (Lance Fuller) basement than in her wedding night. Could the angora-clad cutie have been a gorilla in a former life? WHITE GORILLA: Footage from Perils of the Jungle,1927 (Ray Corrigan narrates over the silent footage). In between scads of footage from the 1927 serial, explorer Ray Corrigan survives an encounter with a white gorilla, who pretty well has his way with the natives and the jungle animals. The gorilla also has a good eye and kidnaps Lorraine Miller, but Corrigan is in pursuit. Any film with Crash Corrigan, Charley King, George J. Lewis, Milburn Morante and the ever-lovely Lorraine Miller, that isn't a western, belongs in any collection of films worthy of being called a collection.
