Great, fun flick

This is one of the best B movie thrillers of the 1950's. Apart from the hokie gorilla costume (there are places where you can see the fingers bend backward), it's a fun movie and worth watching. A great Halloween double feature with "The Deadly Mantis."

However, Cameron Mitchell is totally unbelievable as a young law student at age 34! A mere year younger than amusement park owner Raymond Burr.

A delight for fans of Anne Bancroft to see her as a bit of posh tottie! Lee J. Cobb is great as the crabby police detective. Lee Marvin is a riot as the bumbling cop. Kudos to whomever played the gorilla, Goliath! Great job!

If you like Raymond Burr as Perry Mason, this film is a must see. Lots of similarities in his delivery in this and in Perry Mason.

One of my all-time favorite "corny but great" movies. Enjoy!
