Rating: - classic monster and film noir makes great movie!
the monster and the girl is a very strange but
good movie from the classic monster era. univeral
released but it was made by paramount. it has the
same elements of the universal classic monsters but
added film noir type film with gangsters and it's
actually a very good movie. the title makes it seems
more hokey than it is. the story and acting are quite
good and you have george zucco in it as the mad doctor!
i was suprised and it's one of my favorite of the genre.
if you liked murder at the zoo or film noir movies you'll
love this one ... Read More

Rating: - Bizarre, interesting B horror film
2 1/2 stars. Film starts as melodrama with a girl getting involved with a white slavery ring then veers into horror when her avenging brother has his brain transplanted into a gorilla who then goes after the villains. Wild stuff with an interesting cast: Paul Lukas, George Zucco, Joseph Calleia, Rod Cameron, et al.
