| User ReviewDiane Kthe best movie ever with gorilla in the title |
| User ReviewMark WDrive in fodder would be completely forgotten if not for its cast. Anne Bancroft, looking sensational in Technicolor, is as good as the script allows as are Raymond Burr and Lee J. Cobb. It's fun to see Lee Marvin just starting out as a clumsy cop. The whole thing is nonsensical but harmless unless you count the mystifying decision to make the usually brunette Cameron Mitchell a bleached blond, it does him no favors. |
| User ReviewJaclyn LThis is worth seeing just to look at Ann Bancroft swinging down to the hungry arms of a gorilla. |
| User ReviewHans OWonderfully campy B-movie, of which Bancroft and Burr make the most. And you have to love the title. Well, of course he's at large! |
| User Reviewcody fI didn't go into this film expecting to be blown away by a film called Gorilla At Large, but in 3-D I was a little excited. It was fun to see a young Lee Marvin tease a gorilla and Anne Bancroft is just a pleasure to look at, but the 3-D wasn't too impressive. When a Monkey is running a muck at the Santa Monica Pier I want great 3-D and things being thrown at me. I just don't think this film went gimmicky enough and the story wasn't strong enough to hold up. |
| User ReviewDeborah MVery campy 50's movie. Given our modern special effects, the "gorilla" will make you howl but in the 1950's this was probably considered very scary. Love Anne Bancroft's character. |
| User ReviewDr. AOne of the most awesome titles ever. Great cast and snappy dialogue makes this gorilla in suit caper a watchable and sometimes fun picture. |
| User ReviewMark Boriginally made in 3-D and trying to cash in on King Kong is fun at times and cheesy pretty much throughout the film. lee marvin cracked me up in this movie with his scene with the gorillia. i mean the man in a really bad gorillia suit |
