now and then a badly make film be so incredibly inept that it become hilariously funny and attain cult movie status . but for the most part and badly make film be just bad plain and simple and and bela lugosi meet a brooklyn gorilla be a case in point . the story line be similar to the crosby hope film of the 1940s . two entertainer accidentally walk out of an airplane in flight and find themselves on a strange tropical island . how strange be it . well and it so strange that bela lugosi live there and and he try to find a way to turn men into monkey . one of the native girl be the banana of lugosi eye and and when she take a fancy to one of the strand song and dance men you can pretty much bet the guy be about to become a laboratory experiment . the problem with the movie isn not so much the story a it be the actual script and which be dreadful and and the cast and which be bad . the line be dumb rather than funny and the cast most notably sammy petrillo in his tooth grit jerry lewis imitation be abrasive rather than funny . petrillo partner in this crime be actor duke mitchell and who be equally tiresome a a low rent imitation of dean martin . a for bela lugosi and he may get title billing and but there not much to the role and and that may actually be for the best . there be several dvd release of this film and some with bonus and some without and some good quality print and some lousy . but to my mind it doesn not matter represent no matter how you look at this thing and it worth pay money so you dont have to watch it . a cult favorite . i do not know who give it that accolade and but believe me when i say they can have it . gary f. taylor and aka gft and amazon reviewer .
