Bride of the Gorilla

Albany GA: BearManor Media. Fine. (c.2015). First Edition. Softcover. [a very nice, as-new book, with no discernible wear]. (Scripts from the Crypt, No. 3) Series Trade PB (B&W photographs, facsimiles) Everything -- and I really do mean everything -- you could possibly want to know about this 1951 Grade-B (optimistically) "outlandish monster melodrama." Includes: an introduction by John Landis; the full original screenplay; an article about the making of the film; a tribute to its screenwriter-director, Curt Siodmak; an essay on its music score (by Raoul Kraushaar); an interview with producer Herman Cohen; a timeline of the life and career of its star, Lon Chaney Jr.; a reproduction of the original pressbook; "and more" (if you can take any more). This book is ample proof (if any was needed) that there are no cinematic depths too low to be plumbed by film scholars; I personally won't be satisfied until every single film in the Medveds' historic book "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time" has been honored with its own lavishly-illustrated monograph. (Or maybe they already have, and I just haven't been paying attention.) ****NOTE that additonal postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy oversize paperback; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
