  • The time is the 1950s, and the hottest comedy act in Hollywood is Martin and Lewis. Taking full advantage of the trend, Dean Martin look-alike Duke Mitchell and his partner, Jerry Lewis clone Sammy Petrillo, play a pair of nightclub performers who fall out of a plane and find themselves stranded on a jungle island. They discover Bela Lugosi, who is experimenting with a serum that turns people into gorillas!

    Perhaps the worst movie ever made.

    Truly bad film with Lugosi hamming it up, yet marginally entertaining.

    Although it carries a horrid reputation, it is actually one of the greatest comedy films ever made.

    Wow! Mesmerizingly bad with a nice late in the day turn from Lugosi
