The Horror!? 70: The Gorilla (1939)

The usual manor owning rich guy is threatened by a killer usually wearing a gorilla costume, surprisingly dubbed "The Gorilla". When the police sends the Ritz Brothers to solve the crime my tolerance for "humor" consisting of grimacing, running around and screaming dies a lonely and terrible death.
If you don't know who the Ritz Brothers are just try to imagine an even less funny version of the Three Stooges. Or better, don't.
Poor Bela Lugosi plays the sinister butler as a final proof that his work with Abbott and Costello wasn't the worst he did.
